Default Water in Engine uh OH!!

a buddy of mine drove his car in a flood and his engine suddenly died and the interior flooded about 2 inches... there was water in the oil and motor obviously, but it did not seize or suffer any notable physical defects..

they tore the engine down and everything seemed fined.. motor did not sieze, but now it still doesn't start up.. it will crank, but not start... they've evem tried a 2nd ecu, but w/ no sucess..

i'm assuming its an electrical problem, but we can't seem to pinpoint the problem... have any of u here gone through this delima?? please share your thoughts and input so we can get his motor up and running.. btw, it is a b16..
