Check your spark plugs and make sure they are tight, also your spark plug wires, they might be (sp?)arcing.

I hate to say it, but yeah its cheaper just to buy I built short block and throw mild cam and heads on it and go. I went through abunch of things on my T/A and found out something that people dont tell you when you upgrade cams, heads, etc. Im having a 370ci built now for less than my stock 6.0L cost plus install. Thats what I get though.
