Engine no start

I overhauled my 1999 5.2L engine from the crank up. I have put everthing except a few vaccum lines. She cranks over, has fuel and spark, but does not start. Im puzzeld. Can anyone help me?

RE: Engine no start

I double checked the the distributor and the firing order, all vaccum lines OK, all good. It cranks and it seem like it wants to start but not really. I also dont have oil presssure. Im confused????
