Default cant get my car started after swapping blocks.

Hey guys i have a JDM B16 odb1 into a odb2 car. car ran great. decided to sea foam the motor, revved the **** out of it until i had on oil in it and burnt a rod up. well it messed other things up as well.. it still ran until i recieved a new block and put the block on, replaced head gasket and such. I did take the motor out of the car to do all of this, now i cant get the car to start. any suggestions? the car is grounded correctly, ignition coil is good. seems to be getting fuel? im stumped.

it cranks as it wants to start but it doesnt. as if the ignition coil is shot but it's fine. brand new and tested.

you have fuel? you have spark? it could also be something as simple as your distributor is out 180 degrees. That would cause it to crank, but it would be firing the wrong cylinders, also, make sure you set up the timing belt properly, a few teeth out and it wont start... oh yea, and don't Sea Foam your motor

Check for fuel, check for spark, check timing.

Yepp. You're going to have to check your compression.
