Well you should just go through all check, timing, firing order, good connections, fuses you just check simple things because if it was working fine and all you did was swap it in then precautionary checks are your best bet, but sometimes you never know.

im guessing you probably pulled the dizzy out and didnt get it back in, in the rite spot. Or when you pulled it you wrecked an injector. Also are you reusing "EVERYTHING" you pulled out of the donor car?

Hows the fuel pump in the donor car vs the car the motor is in. Too many variables for anyone online to diagnose.

Because the engine has a little connector device thats car specific and it wasnt disabled and it knows in not in the other car so its attempting to kill itself.

Wires cross in he engine bay causing the injector to stay open and flood out. shooting flames out the intake is never a good thing
