No oil pressure!

My 1977 Tri-Cabin has twin 440 Chyslers in it. One of the engines has "0" oil pressure. My mechanic put a new oil pump on it and it still showed"0". He then, using a drill, manually spun the gears and only a little drip of oil came out. He said the next thing to try would be to reverse-pressurize the system. Has anyone any other ideas?

That's what my father thought....The pick up tube came off. I guess I will have to pull the motor?
