OMG MY ZC RUNS!!!! After 2 days and almost considering giving up and just getting another car. I did some last ditch things like reseting the timing for the belt to make sure it was correct, I also played with the plug order and got it to run. Its not road ready yet but its alive and that is all that matters!

I need to drain out some oil cuz I put in too much, I need to run it so I can pour more coolant into it. It needs to have the downpipe cut and welded up shorter so the Cat Converter will fit.

Yeah I took out the drain plug until oil stopped coming out. Then I knew my D15 was about 4.1 quarts of oil so I dumped in 3 into the ZC and checked it and it says I am almost a quart too much. I guess it's really hard for cold oil to drain all the way out. I don't wanna let it burn off though because too much oil will wear out the seals in your engine and I'm not trying to do that already.
