Thanks for the suggestions. Boss said I can pull it back into the shop this evening after close and work on it, so I will be double checking the orange ground as well as running through your ideas. I will let you know what happens.

Ok, so I got the truck back in the shop. Tried to do a self test and could not get the check engine light to blink, so that was giving me a hunch that my grounds might be screwed. The PCM worked fine before I did the engine swap so I thought it very unlikely that it was on the fritz. So I looked up the EEC-IV connector pinout at Ford Fuel Injection and tested continuity at the four ground locations. I only had continuity at one of them. Doh. I then proceeded to fix that problem and it fired right up. Now I just have some little things to do and it will be ready to rock.
