Rebuild, now a miss. GAH!
1994 F-250. 460, Auto.
Motor has been completly rebuilt. .030 over, new pistons, rings, bearing oil pump, water pump, fuel pressure regulator, etc. Complete banks exhaust, headers to tailpipe.
Air pump was removed. All vacuum lines except for line to thermactor valve, still in place, and that one capped off at the solenoid. All vacuum lines good.
Timing is dead on, have checked multiple times. Firing order is correct, checked that several times as well.
Will not idle, even after warmed up. Runs rough and seems to have a stumble. I am leaning towards a vacuum leak somewhere. But, can't find any bad lines, or missing caps.
Any ideas would be extremely appreciated!

I assume you put in new spark plugs.. did you replace the ignition coil. I could barely get a new engine to run several months ago on account of a brand new Motorcraft coil being bad out of the box. A vacuum leak will cause a stumble but it would have to be pretty bad to cause the engine to very poorly all the time. You can disconnect everything vacuum related except for the MAP sensor and FPR as a way to eliminate most of the accessory vacuum system. Checking fuel pressure wouldn't be a bad idea if you haven't already.
I would also look at the EGR. If it is open even a little at idle it will cause your problems.

if you cleaned IAC, you can test it just to be safe. and your new EGR, may not be the issue, but the solenoid could be letting enough vacuum by (4in.hg) is half open, to cause issues.

exhaust leak in front of or behind O2 sensor, if in front aint helping, O2 will think lean, and PCM will add more gas, could be PITA, to remove all vacuum lines and plug, except MAP, and see if it goes away, then add one line at a time until it stumbles or you have them all back on.
