What do you mean by "won't level off"?

Have you checked your TPS alignment?

When you put the engine in, did you get all the small ground wires reinstalled at a clean and shiny spot at the engine dipstick tube stud?

MAP voltage input is rather high considering stock is about 4.8. Try 5.1 or so.
What fuel pressure are you running with and without the vac line on the fuel pressure regulator?

Could be a bad fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, or kinked fuel line.

Between the high fuel pressure and high MAP supply voltage, it's gotts be real rich.
