A couple of random thoughts....

1) Enough fuel in the tank for the pump pickup - is the car at an angle?
2) Old fuel.
3) Can you hear the fuel pump pressure up when ignition first switched on?
4) Set the throttle body - disconnect battery, reconnect, ignition switch on (no start) for 1 minute, switch off for 10 seconds then attempt start.
5) Check ALL electrical connections that could have possibly been compromised when transmission / clutch removed.
6) If you have spark (as per Health Services) spray engine start down throttle body and see if there's fire in the hold.
7) Durametric ?? if no spark?
