I haven't heard from you on this post lately. In earlier posts we discussed TDC, Timing and while way over simplified firing order and possible misrouting of the plug wires, particularly 2-3 and 4-5 wich if done will allow your engine to run, just not well, and backfire and run rich and have limited horsepower..
All those things were eliminated as possible causes, however all those symptoms would also happen if a a cam from another series motor was installed in an FE.. I'm not sure it's even possible, but I can't tell you how often I am almost sold parts for a 429 for my 428.. So often I always ask to look at the book before I take the part.
Good Luck..
