No oil in V8!

On with the rebuild of my 110 v8 I`ve managed to get it rebuilt other than the body so thought it was time to check it would start now ive got the bulkhead finished.

I put some fuel in, stuck a battery on and up she struck, only trouble is there is no oil pressure! After around 30 seconds running stopped it to investigate. Spun the filter off and it was still dry

While stripping and rebuilding the chassis i didnt touch the engine, in fact took it out in one piece with box then dropped it back in the new chassis.

Only things i did to it were change of all electrics, oil and filters.

Anyone any ideas whats happened? I`m baffled! Any feedback will be great.

Priming? Although you haven't touched the injun as such the pump may need priming. I'd always fill the filter with clean oil first too.

I know it's anuvva forum, but I int proud! Have a read: priming a v8 oil pump - Land Rover UK Forums

Cheers for the help grippa- again!

Just hope i aint damaged owt runnin without oil!
