Minor point, but you need to add one more quart of oil. The oil pan should have 6 quarts in it for the light duty application V6. Heavy duty applications used an 8 quart oil pan.
Although they're pricey, an alternative to spinning your oil pump shaft with a drill is to install a pre-lubricator like MasterLube
