1 - "does not turn over" means does not crank. "Does not start" is your problem.

2 - Double-check ALL of your wiring - the engine PCM harness, the engine wiring harness, etc. You DID update the PCM for the new engine, didn't you?

PCM = powertrain control module - yes, this is the engine/transmission computer. You did get the right one for the engine, right? You did make sure that the system is fully connected and operational, no?

What happens to the "Security" lamp when you turn on the ignition (without starting the engine)?
