Engine wont run after swap

hey guys, my trans mission went in my 89 rs, so i pulled the old 305 and put a new t5 and a 350, wired it all back up but when i go to turn it over nothing happens, no clicking noise, i believe its the starter? or could the wiring be playing a problem. Put battery on a charger for 3 days and nothing. First engine swap and stumpt.


TBI setup
350 truck motor
5 speed

The starter safety switch is on the shifter for automatics, and clutch for manual transmissions. Did you redo that wiring?
