Car wont start after swap help

so i swapped a 350 vortec motor into my car i have a regular carb intake manifold with tbi adapter so after getting motor all plugged in and everything done bleed clutch everything all wires connected i go to turn it over and nothing power goes threw but it is as if when you try to start it and it forget to press in the clutch that is what i get. so basicaly the starter isnt getting power idk why it does infact work cause i tested it by touching the two thing on it and it started to turn over but with no spark and no spraying from the injectors (which may or may not work) however i was told no spark and no spary could be the icm and my two questions are why doesn't it turn over by the key? and whats the issue from the no spark and no spary any help is greatly appericated thanks for reading this.
