Idle and vacuum problem on 1988 4 cylinder to v8 swap.
 
I just finished a 4 cyl to v8 swap on an 1988 automatic mustang and I can't get th car to idle at less then 1000 rpm and I only have about 14" vacuum at that speed. If I step up engine speed to 1500-2000 rpm vacuum will go to 18" and stabilizes there. The donor car was a 89 5 speed car. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be going on. Any help would be very helpful. Thank you.
