455GRIN,
I'm a pretty patient guy and I know I'm new to messing around with these old cars but I think with over 165 hours of instructed diagnosis of this motor given by the builder, I think it's time to stop looking for a mistake that we "could" have done hooking up the motor and start worrying about whats going on inside the motor. We've spent a lot of time, energy and money doing test after test looking for a faulty part or a install mistake and not enough energy is being spent looking for a mistake on the build. Considering this motor had a catastrophic failure on the dyno, I'm willing to bet that is the root of this problem.
I thought about looking for another motor to throw in there but thats just more money and not what I paid for. One way or another...This motor will get right. It's just a shame that we're spinning our wheels looking for a mistake on our end when 165 hours has proven it's not on this end!
