Retorqued intake, drained oil...

will run engine again once I can eliminate any other possibilities...

I replace the stock D80E heads with E7TE heads...

is the L shaped port you mentioned a problem with the heads I swapped for?

The heads you're talking about here are the stock 69-75 351W heads. He doesn't have them.
