I think we need a bit less info, there is way too much detail here.
Do you have fuel and spark?
You had the engine out of the car for the streetport, have you gone through the basics of having every wire hooked up correctly?
Does it turn but not fire, or not turn at all?

since you're saying it won't idle, does it actually run? Does the idle bounce up and down then die? do you have a way to monitor engine parameters like fuel trims? IE bluetooth adaptor and torque, or Cobb Accessport, Mazda Edit.

Ummm you street ported your engine.
Let me understand this ... you ported your engine and you're unable to figure out why it won't idle but you thought street porting was a good idea?
Maybe like uhhhhhh the porting is bad? Or maybe you screwed up your rebuild?
Dude you had the engine out of the car, it could be any number of things .. like did you plug the baro sensor back in?
Who knows?
And as already mentioned, even in the newbie forum you gotta give some more info than your first post.

Measures the ambient Barometric Pressure (What you are experiencing as a human)
If it's not plugged in the car will not idle.
Well at least in my experience as I have forgotten to reconnect it before.

My engine is ported and I had to tune it to get it to idle well. But mine did idle, it was just lopey and very low so I bumped it up. That said, many things can cause idle issues but it is typically a vacuum leak. Smoke testers are a wonderful thing.
