I will have to post a little walk around video or pictures of the car so you can all see my never ending project now. ill try to get a nice acceleration video also. It had no problem burrying the 120 on the dash but that speedo isnt synchronized to the transmission either so i dont know how fast i was really going. Its finally complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks everyone and i know someone recomened to chain the engine down on here and i should have done that a whole ago now i have a dent in my header but i will be installing a chain soon aswell!!!!! Thanks again! I'll probably post a video on a separate forum or pictures of the car just to share.

ok heres what was wrong. the timing gear on the crank was set to zero which was correct. BUT! he did not line the dots up correctly. instead of using the dot on the crank pulley he used the zero mark for the crank timing so the cam pulley was roughly lined up with R4. that was about 5 teeth behind the actual timing mark that should have been used on the crank gear. the car runs amazing now
VERY glad you found this finally

Glad your engine does not stall any more. But it is hard to believe that an error in the cam timing can really cause the engine to stall completely.
If your original gear was 2.76, and the speedo was accurate at that time, and if you have the same tire size, your 120 indicated should be around 90.
