Is this a new ZL-1 Chevy block 053 casting? it does use a relief valve under the oil filter. Make sure is was installed and staked in the correct hole as there are 2 holes it fits in. If not there, could be your problem.

Remove your oil filter and look at the block. There are 2 large (3/4"?) holes. 1 large hole should have a check valve in it or you will bleed pressure like crazy. The valve is availible thru Chevy Performance Parts-Scoggin Dickey knows what it is if you tell them its for ZL-1 block.

The relief valve part number is 25013759. This is the set-up on all ZL-1's. I would have to remove my oil filter to see which hole I put it in as I don't remember.

Check it, and if you don't have one in the block let us know.

Wow, this is better than any soap opera or game show. It actually has a happy ending (crossing my fingers at the moment). Alss, update us as soon as you know.
