Default 6.0l no spark

I put a reman 6.0l in my buddies truck its a 03 2500hd so it had the 6.0 in to start with. After getting everything back in a hooked up I'm not getting any spark and it wont start. I've checked everything over a couple times. Checked and moved cleaned all grounds on the back of the heads and side of the block. Checked for 12v on the wiring harness at the coils its good. I'm getting rmp when I log on HPT so I'm 99% sure the crank sensor and wires are good there. I can smell fuel when we crank it so I'm 99% sure I'm getting plenty of fuel. I've checked everything I can think of except continuity of different wires but again I'm getting RPM on my log so I feel like things are in line there. No DTC's no Security lights on.When I probe the signal wire on the crank sensor plug I can hear it trigger stuff but don't get spark. Crank, cam, oil, knock sensors are all new. I've checked all the fuses also.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Have you checked it with a spark tester, or a known good spark plug stuck against the manifold? This is where I would start

If the pcm is firing the injectors it should be firing the coils.

You know it's getting fuel but is it getting too much? Not enough? What is fuel pressure?

try do a flood clear. if you can smell gas, and i'm assuming this is a stock vehicle, you may be flooded and fouled the plugs. check the harness for the coils too.
is there any codes?
try to disable the vats.
