Default b16 wont start REALLY WEIRD

ok so this is my first post, I recently swapped over my B16A, dash, and full body harness from my si hatch to my sedan, and when I had it up in the air it started with no problem. So, we put the front suspension/axles/brakes/wheels on and put it on the ground it, it wont start. it sounds like timing is off but it's not I pulled the valve cover and checked tdc all good.
pulled spark plugs and it looks like their fouling up but still sparking,
loosened up fuel lines and their getting spraying fuel. starter is working just fine,
swapped ecu,
swapped main relay,
tried starting fluid, new plugs, jumping it for more juice, push starting, checked fuses, WTF?!?!?!?!?
any ideas anyone?? oya I have triple and quadruple checked all my connections/grounds.

ok it was both what's even more weird is it looks like the cam is bent cause the new one crcked at the base and is moving around and my starter sounds funky. It's making a raaaaaaaaah instead of ra ra ra ra

Maybe the ignition coil does it act as if it wants to start?

ok it looks like it was just a fitment issue that cracked it and the starter was a voltage issue so i set the motor to tdc to see where it sits and the rotor in the dizzy is off 90 degrees isnt that wrong??? shouldn't it be up at tdc??
