Congrats on the first start! Like anything of this scale, bound to be a couple of kinks. Hopefully anything (like your CEL) will be minor.

Double check the O2 wiring and just make sure you did not damage something in the process.

Did you paint the insides of any exhaust pipes?

That might actually ruin an o2 sensor if there is dirt/paint burning off onto the sensor

Thanks Jason, I already double checked everything.. I did find out that I left the master cylinder unplugged though!!
I cleaned up my calipers right now and disconnected the battery so everything could reset. Going to get some more brush on caliper paint and when I'm done I'll start the car again and take it for a spin hopefully I don't get that o2 code again

I did paint them but I removed the sensor before that. Some overspray did get inside though since I didn't tape anything off lol I guess I'll need a new sensor if the code comes back correct? I know this sensor was good since it's the one from my L36... The L26 one I swapped and left with the old motor Since I kept the L26 manifolds and crossover lol, didn't wanna keep it since it was wet from sitting outside and getting rained on lol

Sounds like replacement time. AC Delco is your BEST choice. I've read about success with Delphi O2's (that's what I'm running). But no-go on the BOSCH (more prone to issues sadly).

Do you have a part # for the ac delco jason?
just got home from work and i scanned it again, and now its also showing code p0306 cylinder 6 misfire.... it was a little hesitant on start up and about 1/2 throttle
could it be the bad o2 sensor making this code pop up or is it the zzp wires?

According to RockAuto, looks like it could be AC Delco part number AFS109.

It's hard to say what caused the mis-fire issue. I believe you put new plugs in. In theory that should rule out a failed plug, but I would NOT over look it.

Make sure the plug wire is TIGHT and clipped on. I've seen some wires "push off" a plug or coil.

Make sure the injector is seated all the way and it's connector is on all the way.

Also does not hurt to check for vacuum leaks.

If those all check out, I'd replace the failed O2 before going crazy.
