Since you have replaced most of the engine parts I would check you are getting a spark at plugs first and then fuel from pump! I think these are the most probable reasons for not starting!
Needs to have at least 3o lbs of fuel pressure,may need to rent a gauge from your local parts house. Plus make sure all the ground wires are attached (bell housing bolt is where the ECM ground is,I think)
electric ignition module is bad, or maybe the safety shutdown relay, also check to see if the timing belt has snapped, it happened to me, lol replaced plugs, wires, coil, ignition module, and turned out to be the timing belt had snapped causing the safety shutdown relay to shut off power to the coil and fuel pump, good luck :)
Only way to check the timing belt is to remove cover, When was last time belt was replaced, timing belt should be replaced every 50,000 miles, shound like that would be next thing to check
you might have blown the heads so you will have yo do some repalcements on it also you will have to repalce a new tensioner on it beacause it might of broken with the force it was given
