Did you break the motor in correctly? Are you having a lot of blow by? (You'd need a catch can to answer that question). How old is the O2 sensor?
as for the delayed start, try priming the fuel system before you start it. (turn the key to on, then back, then on, then back, then start it). It should fire right up. It's probably just fuel going back in the lines.
