I picked up a 94 F-150 4x4 with 247K that the PO had put a new trans in, and on the way home from the trans shop the motor threw a rod. I got the truck for a song, Had a running FI 5.8l from an earlier year that I swapped in reusing all the FI and electronics from the 94. No remote start or security system, I am getting fuel to the rail (never unplugged the injectors or the harness) getting spark to the plugs and set the timing to 8* BTC on compression, with the rotor pointing at #1 From everything I read this is the correct setup, I have gone over everything 3 times, every plug is plugged in, the spark plug wires are right, I spun the motor 180* just to make sure I wasn't on compression. I'm stumped. I'm not even getting a sputter or pop at either setting. Am I missing something or get my info wrong, is there an computer reason it wont fire, or something else I haven't tried

Please Help!
