backfires on deceleration.

I have a 1988 f-250 5.9L. fuel injected. recently did a motor swap to a newer Jasper engine I had from my 1987 f-350. since the swap the engine starts well and runs strong but backfires on deceleration. If I lightly touch the accelerator it stops. Also engine bucks at aprox 1500rpm. truck bucked with previous engine I believe it is unrelated to the backfiring. I have done plugs wires cap rotor intake manifold gaskets. also cat has been "cleaned out".

Did you swap out computers or keep the original? If it occurred with the old engine, that sounds like a computer problem to me.

the computer and distributer are original to the truck. and the back fire did not occur with the other engine.
