Replaced both down stream 02 sensors last week and now the code comes on within a few minutes of being cleared! MAF has been cleaned, the intake gasket was replaced when the motor was installed, and can’t find any loose vacuum lines!
So I’m down to a fuel issue or the air fuel sensors! I have the intake, fuel rail and injectors off my old motor and thinking about swapping the injectors out, before spending the $300 on air/fuel sensors!
Any other ideas?

Check for exhaust leaks. I had this same code in the past, it was because one of the flange gasket that mates the exhaust manifold to the y pipe was rotted away, allowing tons of air to escape. I discovered it by starting the car and just rolling underneath and placing my hands around everywhere there is an exhaust gasket, feeling for air that was escaping. Running lean = O2 sensors thought there was not enough oxygen because it was all escaping out of the exhaust leak. $5 gasket later, no more CEL.
