Replace the ignition switch. If it doesnt fix it you can return it. Otherwise I'd check the wiring to the switch.

Something might have been pulled apart during transplant.

Okay ya'll, I finagled with the neutral switch and didn't get anything. I went to the parts store and got an ignition switch. That didn't work. So I went on to test the starter solenoid. I took the red wire off the solenoid and ran a meter over it to see if I was getting 12 volts when the key was turned to "start". I was getting 12 volts. Therefore my problem must be the solenoid. I plan on getting one at the parts store tomorrow evening. I will let ya'll folks know how it goes.

Okay ya'll. I replaced the starter solenoid and she fired right up. Now I just need some exhaust. Open headers are loud. My flowtech afterburners should be in today.
