Did you put a new timing belt on the replacement engine? If you're sure there's spark and fuel, the next thing to check is timing and compression. You can check the cam timing by removing the upper timing belt cover, turn the crankshaft by hand (counterclockwise only) to TDC1 and see if the marks on the cam pulley line up.
Also, what model year is it?
