Rebuild problems

Hi everyone. Just finished putting my 1982 22R 5 speed pickup back together. I got it running for the first time, and did a break in For it. It has a fuel issue (idles fine but dies after giving it gas quickly) but I figured id give it a test drive and see what's happening.
Right away I can barely back out the driveway. The clutch seems to need adjustment, it lurches and dies as soon as I move my foot. At one point the clutch was all the way out and the truck wasn't moving
Finally get it to the top of the drive, and it dies another 10 times trying to roll forward.
I finally get it gassed enoigh to move forward and it's super loud, but barely moving. 1st 2nd and 3rd all seem to have the same problem
It also is extremely hard to shift to 1st under load.
It has a
New Transmisison from Marlin crawler
New lce clutch, resurfaced stock fylwheeel.
​​​​​​New asin slave cylinder
New engine from 22re performance
New fuel pump.
New offenhauser intake

Just kind of confused what's going on lol

The information provided is not clear.

Get the engine running properly. Does it rev up if the pedal is pushed slowly? If it only dies if quickly accelerated- suspect accelerator pump function in carb.

If the clutch pedal engages low to the floor suspect- air in the system, bad clutch pressure plate, linkage slop or adjustment.

If the clutch pedal is all the way out and slips maybe suspect something sticking.

More information is needed. Will it run through all of the gears sitting still running with the clutch pedal in?

I have to agree with RacerXXX about possible air in the system. Anytime you replace the clutch slave or master cylinder, you've got to do a thorough bleeding job on that system to get all the air bubbles out. It could take several times without using a vacuum bleeder.
There is one "low tech" way I've used to get air out of the clutch system that you could try. As air bubbles tend to want to go upwards. I press the clutch pedal to the floor & block it in that position to hold it there with a broomstick (or other suitable item) & leave it that way overnight.
It allows air bubbles to escape into the fluid reservoir & let fluid replace them. It's worked on my '78 every time I've I've had to replace a cylinder.
