Engine Swap Won't Start

Ok here we go, 1989 F250 2WD, I replaced my 302W for a 351W, swaped ECU, engine won't start, Timing is set good, has good spark at plugs, will only run while squrting gas in the throttle body, there is 12 volts at the injectors but don't have a noid light to check to see if the ECU is grounding the otherside of the injector. There is fuel presure in the fuel rail. Is there anything i silly could of missed in the engine change.

Any suggestions will be great.

Thank you in advance.

Bryan

Got her going, the 351W engine harness had two wires cut so it could run on propane in the other car.

Thanks
