Need help 2 DEAD cylinders
So i swapped in a 40/60k motor from a jdm dealer swore it was good. Started up great no issues put full front end back together and boom timing rattle. Test drive. Flashin cel and misfiring/ backfires . Timings off check fuel good check spark good. Pull two coils in rear driverside no change to how car was idling (great) couldnt even tell it was running on 4 cylinders
I need help im not sure if its savable it runs and drives i really do not want to pull the motor again im not the best with a wrench so timing jobs are not my forte

Are you sure you didn't accidentally swap a couple of the coil pack harness wires? It's really easy to do. I'd be really surprised if you jumped a tooth on the timing chain, that's just not really something that happens on these motors unless something like the chain tensioner or guide actually BREAKS.
Even with a broken chain tensioner (tips sometimes break off) it should still hold timing though.
After the engine swap did it run perfectly normal for a while? No check engine light?
Can you make a video and post it to youtube, then put the link here.
