Did you rebuild your own injectors or send them out??

Also, follow this.

Check your IPR plug and any other plugs you disconnected to install the new engine.

If you have had the injectors out, it can take several minutes of cranking to get oil back into the rails, and pressurized, so the injectors will fire.

Stop spraying ether its going to damage your engine, as Tom mentioned is just air in the HPO system and air in the fuel system. Make sure your batteries are fully charge and make sure your voltage don't dip below 10,5 volts when cranking.

Keep a battery charger on it and crank 10 seconds at a time waiting 3-5 minutes between cranks. Much more than that and you could burn the starter up. I have had to do this as long as 2 hours on some trucks to get the air out of the HPO system after having injectors out.
