Sounds like the timing is fucked.

was your afc hooked up before dropping in the y8? possible that you wired it in backwards. did you verify the wire colors via a shop manual? obd0 car/wiring...obd0 engine/head?? did you check the firing order? you said timing was ok, but you need a new t-stat...is it ever warming up?
