Thought about the timing gears being off. Going to pull the valve cover off and watch the valves when the piston is coming up to check that and see where the distributor is. I don't think there is water in the gas as i stopped and put gas in the truck right before i changed the motors and its only been sitting 3 weeks. I might try the oil in the cylinder trick. We did put a bunch of superlube down the cylinders before we put the motor in the truck and turned it over by hand to make sure it still turned since its been sitting a while.
