Default PLEASE Support LS3 Swap

I have purchased salvaged Camaro 2010. My plan is moving L99 engine and auto transmission 6L80 to Nova 1973. In addition, All wiring harness, ECM, and BCM are from Camaro.

After I installed the engine, did all the wiring connection, and deleted VATS from ECM, I tried to start the car. However, the engine is not cranking at all.

PLEASE I need support to solve the issue. Any one near Greensboro, NC can come to take a look at my car.

You can call me at (704) 904-6238‬

Is the ignition switch good. Also, check and REcheck ALL grounds and connections. You might have missed something.

Purple wire from ign switch to starter, check that first it should crank over with that hooked up regardless of computer connected or not

Back to basics. Do you have spark? Check with a timing light, at least one plug on each bank. Do you have operating injectors? Check with 'noid light. If you have both then spray a bit of starter fluid into the intake...does it try to start? Of course this troubleshooting guide assumes the starter is in fact turning the engine over. If not, see above and I read the question wrong.
