if you use some punctuation, it may be easier for us to figure out what’s going on. It’s kind of tough to comprehend what you’re saying.

I see something about the ect? Does is not have a temp sensor installed? That’s important.

Did you try starting fluid to see if it would fire up?
Does it have fuel pressure?
Will a scanner communicate with the computer?

Car runs drives down the road just takes for ever to get up to speed. Fuel pressure is at top of pressure range yes it communicates with computer. Feels like it is starving for fuel

You said you didn't use the 5.0 auto transmission. Do you have a manual or automatic transmission now? If you're using an auto ECU with a manual, you will have issues. And just as a double-check - did you set the timing with the SPOUT connector out? And did you put the SPOUT back in? Did it seat correctly? I've had the SPOUT plug not go in right and the car ran like crap because the computer couldn't advance the timing.

All of what you are asking is good. Computer is for an automatic by the numbers. Timing has been checked and set correctly numerous times. I found a big vacuum leak under the upper intake while removing injectors
