98 4.6L 4X4 lower Rebuild starting woes

Finished lower end rebuild. Top end rebuild 20,000 milesprior to spinning a bearing on CYL 1&2. New Heads. Started and ran for 20 min or so. Rocky idle but started quieting down and purring. Now engine stopped and will not restart. Low compression on CYL 1-4 (50lbs or less) Normal compression on CYL 5-8. Timeing was right on. Any advice????
