Valves.

Did you re-use your lifters or put new ones in? If you put new ones in, then I hope you soaked them in oil for at least 24hrs. If not, they don't let the vales close all the way, so the car will not start. You can try losseneing the valves bit by bit ( a 1/4 turn at a time) and I bet she starts rights up.
