poor running after head gasket job

Car is a 2000 9-3, 2.0L turbo. Was overheated and the head cracked. I replaced the head with one from a 2003 9-5, 2.3L. I reused the original exhaust camshaft in the replacement head.
Got it done and started it up. It runs like crap. Bucking, poor idle, no power. I have checked, checked again, and rechecked the cam timing and it's spot on. Checked to see if I missed a sensor, can't find anything.
I have done a number of head gasket replacements and all have gone just fine. I am really confused what I must have missed on this one.
Any ideas?
