Default Car wont start...No Spark

well ew just swapped out my 98 bottom end for a 04 gto bottom end. we got everything together and tried to fire it yesterday. The car is getting no spark. What could it be? Were almost positive every sensor is plugged in, all grounds are on, etc. Could the ignition relay just go bad from the car sitting? I apreciate any help you guys can give.
