Down on power-- No codes.

I swapped engines in my Claret recently. Following my service manuals, I replaced the head gaskets, etc, installed my redone heads from my old motor, etc.

After a host of small issues, losing storage space, etc, I worked on the car over the weekend.

Here is where I am at:

The car is currently hard to start (sometimes have to hold throttle open entirely) and too sluggish to drive anywhere safely.

-No CEL
-Fluids OK
-No irregular taps, knocks, squeaks, etc
-Car will start, but will not run at idle and is down on power
-Checked timing belt alignment (ok)
-Checked cam keyways (looked ok)
-Ran car without exhaust (checked for clogged cats)
-No noticeable vacuum leaks.
-Changed all under-intake solenoids
-Changed fuel filter
-New vacuum hoses, PCV
-New fuel hose from filter to engine

Any suggestions?
