It started out as a timing chain replacement almost the entire engine has been gone through and it still won't start it has air spark I'm going to run another compression test and check the fuel pressure any help would be appreciated

Not really a lot to give feedback on. It's probably a wiring issue as a wild guess. Best way to trouble shoot is a good scanner that can see what is really going on when cranking. This is on top of checking wiring to injectors/fuel pressure, compression.

So did it get a timing chain because of a no start? You said it "still" wont start, Does it crank or not crank? There are 100s of things that can make a car not start.

Battery. It’s always the battery. Flat tire? It’s the battery. Sputters? The battery. Engine detonated? The battery. Goes too fast? The battery. Not enough HP or TQ? The battery. AC blows hot or heater doesn’t heat? The battery. Need some decals? The battery.

(My V6 had a bad timing chain, tried to swap in a V8 and failed, fixed the timing chain and re-installed the V6 and now it won't start) = (replaced timing chain and won't start)?
