Check the crank sensor, they tend to take a beating if not installed AFTER the motor is in there.

Getting any codes?

Which engine??

Misfire codes stay gone? How did you plenum look when you had it off? (did you swap motors, or a shop?)

Still random misfires then. Have an Oscilloscope? I would be tempted to see what your spark looks like on one.... It would definitely let ya know if ignition was your trouble....

Did you double check the firing order to ensure that you have the plug wires routed correctly? Also, check to ensure that all of the wires are firmly connected at the distributor cap and at each plug.
