Did you get all three ground straps on the back of the block? Two go to the actual block, and one goes to the back of the passenger cylinder head.

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

We need to figure out if it's fuel or spark you're not getting.

one to the left of the crank sensor, on on the back right side, of the block, bolts to a non bell housing bolt, and then the fat ground strap to the back of the head

Are the 6.0 injectors different than the 4.8 and 5.3? I didn't think they were. Is bad injectors common with 6.0 swaps?
