For starters are you throwing a check engine light?

When you are cranking the engine is the NATS security indicator to the left side of the dash flash or solid red?

Does the tach move when you're cranking the engine?

Did you keep all your existing sensors, throttle body, injectors, coil packs, etc or are you using the unknown ones that came with the used engine?

Did you hook up the engine bonding/grounding wire? It lands on the right side of the timing chain cover and the other end lands on the chassis directly below the coolant reservoir on a 2-hole lug.

It's probably a bad sensor on the donor motor. In the future you want to always use ALL the sensors, injectors, throttle body, coil packs, everything from the EXISTING motor since you know they worked the last time that engine was running. Junkyard engine injectors are typically clogged up from sitting for a year or more, cam/crank sensors are picky to begin with and you have no clue what the donor has on it.

It introduces too many variables, start with the existing stuff that you know works. If you want to keep parts as spares and swap them out in the future once the engine is running that's fine.

Personally I'd just strip the intake manifold off and start swapping everything back over. Those metal gaskets are all reusable.

Something else I always do on a junkyard donor motor is put a new water pump, front and rear main seal, before the engine is installed. Little late for that now though.
