I figured it out. What was happening is the pink wires on the large C2 connector on the factory fuse box that run the injectors/coils etc. had power when the engine was running in park/neutral however, when shifted into gear all power was cut to all the pink wires causing the engine to die. I made a jumper wire and got power to the pink wires while in drive/reverse and it runs/drives now and went on its first drive to the end of the block and back. Thanks everyone for the ideas and giving me ideas and places to look.

I know this may come off as beating a dead horse but I'm actually dealing with the same thing and I'm trying to figure out exactly what you meant
