Original engine overheated, purchased salvaged engine and installed over Labor Day

Put old flywheel on replacement engine.
Repaired insulation on several wires coming across top of radiator

Engine will turn over, but not start

Power is present at coil pack, fuel rail, and crankshaft sensor
Have fuel pressure, but no injection, also no spark at plugs
Swapped old crankshaft sensor, no help
