Default 4cyl to V8 swap

ok last weekend i took the motor out of my peice of crap 91 Hatch and put it in an 89 Coupe that used to be a four cylinder, all of this in 3 days...so now that the motor is in the new body i cannot get it to start....i have no clue whats up....i dont get a fuel pump with the key on run and i dont get the motor to turn over when i turn the key...so guys heres where you come in...what do i check next??? i have gone over all my grounds and yes the fuel pump comes on when i cross the relay. But if anyone has any helpful info...or something that i should check please help me.....thanks....other than that i love the coupe...nice and clean and a better car overall.

oh one other thing is your 91 is a air bag car during all the swap you might have triped some sensor on that system that kills the engine and fuel.
