Is the TDC timing mark in the same place on 4 cylinder cooling fans regardless of displacement?

I'll explain my dilemma and go from there. My race engine is based on a 1.8. My cooling fan is off of an unknown engine size. It's cut down, lightened, no belt ring, etc. My flywheel has been machined and balanced down to 7 lbs. so there is nothing but ring gear showing. No timing marks there. I'm having problems with the engine not wanting to rev quickly or smoothly, especially under load(driving in gear). It does rev better sitting in neutral but still it feels like there is a boat anchor tied to the crankshaft. It has duall Dell 40s, an 050 dizzy w/ Pertronix, and I've timed it at 32 degrees @ 3000 rpm with a dial-in advance timing light. It also wanted to overheat on the pace lap so I brought it in. Valves are set to what the engine builder told me to set them (.004, .006) Engine has about 10.5:1 comprression if that matters. I'll provide any info anyone requests and answer any questions. I'm ready to pull my hair out over this car.
