I changed the motor in my and now it wont start

I have already changed the starter multiple times, the solenoid has also been changed just as many times, changed batteries, even tried a battery from a tractor trailer, checked all wiring and everything is hooked up, changed ignition switch, the motor will roll but not fast enough to create a spark or fire

Did you put all the shims back? Slow crank can be that or timing too far advanced, bad battery cables.
