Well !@#$. 
I'm sorry Sean, that's not fair at all. When someone goes through the trouble to take all the precautionary steps and this still happens? I'd be out of my head. Only thing left to do is to break things down and start over. Take a day off first and grab a beer with some friends, that's what I did when I had to rebuild everything again.

Something eating itself up somewhere.

I'm pretty confident in saying you don't have copper in your oil, but check the rest of the bearings. It's very obivous once you've worn thru all the babbitt layers on a bearing.
if you and Lucas don'r find anything conclusive I would send an oil sample to Blackstone or another testing lab as see what the metal content is.
What was the background of the block? You used a 64 block yea? Was it a junkyard motor? Was it shot peened or glass beaded?

I'm really sorry this happened. I get a pit in my stomach just reading about it. I know your gonna get it sorted and it will just be a little setback. Just to toss it out there, did you replace the oil cooler? I've been told those things hold all kinds of crap after an engine failure and are pretty difficult to get clean. Anyway Gluck looking forward to reading about your findings and recourse.

Mains and rods. Not really worn, just torn up from trash going through them.

Two things I would like to know more about that come to my mind after searching through this thread.
What crankshaft did you use? If you used an OEM crank any pre-processing done to it before installation into the block?
Did you check the thrust clearance of the crank to the block before you removed it?
