I would also check the fuel tank vent hose for a kink or blockage.

a cracked spark plug or two from engine installation not uncommon
ive eliminated that by running off an external 5 gallon tank with the exact same results A cracked plug is possible but not likely That motor went back in first and there's plenty of room.

I thought about that but I think with the HP I'm pushing it would have exploded by now

I believe they're MEFI 3. Tuned by the builder. We used the exact same program that was used before the top ends were done. Tuning was originally done on the dyno and then fine tuned in the boat using welded bungs in the headers.
