Default Electrical problems

Alright guys let’s start off by saying this, I have a 95 Firebird, originally an LT car, but now has a LS 5.3 in it. I bought this car with a rod knock. I took the entire motor out swapped everything over to A different block from the heads up (new to me but used block). I got everything hooked back up, as I thought was correctly. Now the issue I’m having is when I turn my key on all my lights come on My fuel pump comes on headlights everything except my starter will not spin. I took the starter off I hooked it to jumper cables from the battery it’s Spun right away. I’ve been so puzzled for the last two days I have no idea what’s going on, any help would be appreciated

Do you have power to and then through the neutral safety switch?

Do you have access to a multimeter? A You Tube video and a good multimeter can answer your question. Backtrack from the starter to find where you regain 12 volt start power. Fix that. A shop manual copy of the wiring schematic would also assist you. I like mine printed on 11 x 17 inch tabloid-sized paper to make it easier to follow the lines. I'd never view a schematic on a cell phone screen.
