Default HELP no start after motor swap....

After swapping the new motor in, trying to crank and getting nothing, we've double checked the cam/ crank sensors, checking the wiring harness, we don't have spark at all.... I don't have a clue as to why... Any help?

Checked that, found two loose but didn't help, I'm sure it didn't hurt anything either.

Man we have checked everything and then again, and went and ate a pop-tart and come back and checked! Its a pita for sure! Could it have anything to do with security? What would fix an issue like that?
Thanks guys!

You have to have it running to do a relearn..... But yes, I did an entire reflash last night when we ran into the problem... And yes, skrawberry pop tarts are de-lish....

Turns over, no spark...

Same PCM, the busted 5.3 that I pulled ran the same day as the motor swap.... The 5.7 should crank and idle on the 5.3 tune... Were leaning towards it being something wrong with or a bad crank sensor all together. I'm going to swap them tomorrow.
