sounds like your timing is out. Is this a 5.0L? i was looking at your name and 4.6 in a rx-7 seems kinda cool.

Is it on #1 cylinder of the compression stroke? It is so easy to get these things 180 degrees out. I would try rotating 180 degrees.

OK what firing order did you wire it for? Is there a possibility you wired like a standard 302 and not a 302 H.O.?

OK backfiring through intake could indicate a intake valve not closing. what is this engine in?

your timing could also be retarded! Do you have a rocker adjusted to tight where it might not be letting the valve close all the way?

could the banging noise have been a piston coming in contact with a valve?

well you stated you changed the timing chain. Was it skipping teeth? Why did you change it?
