So up above are the codes and here are the symptoms.

She's got a rough start and idle, feels like I'm sitting in a humvee/helicopter. After I let it warm up it becomes a bit more stable. I think you would call it a hard start? It seems a lot more rough with lower RPMs and I can hear some clink clanking. As RMPs increase it's a lot steadier as I said before. It's almost an art to keep it running when I put it in gear, and when it stalls it stalls HARD.

Please post any advice knowledge wisdom or **** you's below. Thanks for the help guys I can't wait to finally get this bastard mobile and come to a meet WITH FREE BEER FOR YOU

 

Added the missing codes for you.

With the random misfires, I would start by looking for a vacuum leak. This would explain the rough idle, etc. Start with the vacuum hoses. If the originals have not been replaced, I would preemptively replace all of them anyway. The braided cloth ones don't seem to last very long. I don't know about the 12v engines, but about 6ft was plenty to replace all of them on my 30v. The diameter should be 3.5 mm. You can get silicone line from the web if you've got time or just run to a parts store and get something close enough in English sizing.

Look for other leaks in the intake tract. PCV hoses, TB elbow, anything else downstream of the MAF.

 

Makes sense to me. I've already replaced the vac lines with the silicone kind, but the routing/placement is in question. I'll look into it. Thanks man.
