I would bet that you've blown one of the oil galley plugs out at the front of the block. You'll have to pull the front cover to see for sure, but its very likely that's the problem. Seen it happen many, many times. That's why I always have my oil galley plugs tapped for NPT plugs rather than using the stock freeze plug style.
