When I go to fill the reservori small bubbles rise out of the front brake reservoir only(the one for the front brakes is what I mean). while the truck is off the pedal is great but when I start the truck pedal goes straight to the floor and does not come back up. What am I doing wrong, I have been through two quarts of brake fluid bleeding and it has not gotten any better. the brake light does not come on and I have tightened every fitting for the front brakes. Any help out there?

It sounds from what you described that you may have a leak in your system. If you checked all the lines, brake fittings, piston seals and wheel cylinders then you may have an internal leak around the piston seal in the MC causing the air in your front brakes system. Since the MC is new (or a reman) it may have a faulty seals or they may have been damaged during the install.
After saying this, the faulty metering valve could also cause excessive pedal travel, but that doesn't explain the air bubbles.
I assume that your brake system were in working order before you did the engine swap.? Is the assembly correct?
