everytime you crank it it seems like it wants to catch but wont. jump started it and was able to get it down the block for the first time but then out of nowhere heavy plumes of burning coolant start pouring out of the exhaust. will die once around 700 rpm, will not idle. Any ideas?

Who built the motor?
Are you sure its coolant and not oil/assembly grease?
Do you have good spark and fuel?
You get your timing as close as possible?
Hook a battery charger up to it, gas pedal to the floor and crank. With fuel/spark/timing it should start.

In garage rebuilds, a pinched seal is common. Theirs a reason they(professional builders) glue the soft seals into the groove.
Take off the radiator cap and crank the car. If its drinking the coolant or spraying it everywhere, you pinched the seal.
You live you learn.
Good news is your probably going to be able to reuse the all the other soft seals.
