Did you purge the fuel lines after you did the head gaskets....that may cause the dying. Check your vacuum connections as well since the modulator on the trans has a vacuum line that might cause your shifting problem......and as for the no spark i draw a blank except for bad connection at the coil.

did you hook you the vacuum line for the tranny on the intake when you put it back on? as most times it gets missed. also check over the elecrtical plugs to make sure nothing is lose cracked or broken.

Make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks at the vacuum tree on the drivers side by the firewall.

You didn't damage or neglect to connect up the engine ground strap, did you? All other electrical connectors connected tight? Your description sounds to me like there's a loose connection somewhere.
