Default Motor Swap now car wont start

well i just installed my new motor and now it wont start, when i turn the key on all the accessories power up and evrything but when i turn the key i got nothing, no clicking as if it was a dead battery, so i touched a screwdriver across the starter and it tryed to start the car, so where else do i look? i already checked the wires to the starter, help

Are you getting a good ground? If so, pull the starter and take it to autozone and have them test it. Do you hear a clicking when you turn the key like the bendix is popping out? If theres no clicking, do you hear it spinning inside the case?

It would still crank if the fuel pump was bad. He said it wont even crank over when using the key so it aint a fuel pump.

check and make sure you hooked the s-terminal up to the starter.
if so check for power while someone hold it in the crank position
