I’ve been trying to take notes along the way as I’ve been troubleshooting, but this seems like a key piece of the puzzle that I’ve been recalling incorrectly. I’m just getting old I guess.

Mike- yes, you’re right, thanks for keeping me on track.

I went back and scanned some of the posts. I don't see where you've confirmed 100% your timing.

Do this with a piston stop, or at a minimum, pull your balancer bolt and check the orientation of your keyway with your timing mark. I needed to confirm TDC on my car recently. Here's mine and it was correct:
