you should provide more details on the setup, then i can give more detailed info.
i'd say start with a compression test, then a leakdown test. also check the cam timing. after that, check the pcv system.

Sounds to me like a timing problem. Check your cam timing and your distributor timing to make sure thats all OK first.
