Default Having problems after putting headers on my 88 5.0

Ok, so I changed my headers to some hedman longtubes and put an x pipe with flowmasters. I had to drill holes for the o2 sensors in the headers. I have only the front o2 sensors hooked up. My problem is, I cant get it to idle. what do you think it could be?

Welcome, but you may get more advice if you post this question in the Fox/SN tech section. Otherwise, pull codes to see what your ECM is storing. Is your CEL on ? If it was idling fine before the swap, disconnect battery, reconnect after a couple minutes and do a base idle reset. Use the search feature on this forum to find step by step instructions. Good luck and keep us updated.
