We got it!!!!!!!!!! It fired up after I readjusted the cam sensor and fixed the rockers. I'll see if I can get a video posted up on youtube today or tomorrow!!!

I believe the issue has been found. The cam sensor was more than likely set correctly, but we'll check and see tonight. Multiple cylinders lacked compression, and after pulling the valve covers, we found out why. The rockers needing adjusting after priming the engine. After adjustment, I got 148-150 on the cylinders that before had no compression whatsoever. Since I got the valve covers off, I will re-install the cam sensor 25* atdc on the compression stroke and go through the routine of setting it once more. I appreciate you guys for all of the insight and I hope to get this thing running tonight. I will keep you all posted

Definitely. I can confirm that I have fuel pressure and spark. I believe the setting of the cam sensor could potentially be it, but I don't see how when I was getting a lit LED on the cam sensor tool. I'll figure this out and report back. The SES has a solid light as well. I did bolt the crank sensor up without knowing it had a specific window to set to, but I think I got lucky there since I do have spark on the #1 plug. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for all the kind words and assistance in this thread. We're almost there.
Things I can confirm: New chip was installed with new injectors tps is set is set to .42 fp at the rail shows 36lbs #1 plug has fire battery is new installed a mini starter the engine did at least stumble twice during the attempts of cranking injectors are spraying because the #1 plug smelled like fuel although it was dry IAC is connected crank sensor is connected MAF and translator are connected Alternator is connected with new HD cable(caspers) starter is connected, as well as all new fusible links re-routed to a positive terminal(Caspers kit) New grounds are installed(caspers kit) Oil pressure was rising as engine cranked I'm no longer using the factory oil pressure sending unit I'm no longer using the factory EGR setup
I did not measure the resistance across the plug wires and I have not gotten a chance to check compression. I went with an entire roller setup(I dont believe this to have any relevancy but I did want to share.)
I reused all of my sensors off of my old motor. I figured since they worked with the old motor that they should be able to run the new motor. If I think of anything else I'll be sure to add here.

Good morning gents. I am officially going through the "no start" tree. I'll keep you all posted. I'm taking a mental break as this is extremely exhausting and frustrating. Lol

Incredible work! I love the audio setup. Super clean install.

Got the engine primed tonight, and the cam sensor seated properly. The TC is bolted to the flywheel and the inspection cover is on. No leaks were found during the prime so I'm pretty excited about that. We're almost there gents!!

That's what I read somewhere so that's good. I'll research all the vacuum routes because there's seems to be quite a bit. Power steering pump is on

Good morning gents! Got the engine in the car, bellhousing bolts tightened, motor mount bolts tightened, crossover pipe on, and the starter on. I'll keep you guys posted!!

With everything quiet, you can actually hear the air coming out as well. Pretty neat stuff and I'm learning so much.

I really like the setup on Steve's site for the oil pressure sending unit. I have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, but I haven't found that T-piece similar to that setup.
