I'd have a bunch but you just did an engine swap and you didn't give much info. What ecu are you running? Did you do any conversions? Have you check for spark or injector pulse? Did you use an obd1 ecu that requires saturated injectors?...

Double check your spark plug wires firing order on the cap and valve cover!
That usually does it.
Also check your thermostat ground,transmission ground.
