1997 Firebird V6 No oil pressure

I have a 1997 Pontiac Firebird, V6. Oil pump went out then then engine seized. Replaced engine with used engine and worked good for a day then oil pressure went to 0 again, engine started to knock. Replaced with another engine and same thing happened. Cant be 3 bad engines / oil pumps?

The oil pump is internal of engine and since complete assy was replaced, there is no other explanation except the oil pump, filter or a damaged crankcase.
