Starting problems with new setup

I'm having trouble getting my 87TII running with the new setup. It will start and run for maybe five seconds, then turn off like I used the key.
I've changed a few things since the engine was out. I did the emmissions removal and modded the throttle body per rotary ressurection. I've installed RC 750 injectors and an RTek 2.1 ECM. Any help on what it could be?

I fixed the issue after double checking my connections, and my MAF was unplugged.

Now my clutch is dragging and won't go in to any gear with the car running...

This is on a new build from atkins with working parts that were in the car (i.e. clutch and flywheel), any ideas on where to look?

Car starts and does ok, will need some adjustment idling but won't go in to any gear while running...

I've bled the clutch and adjusted the clutch push rod, and checked to see the clutch is engaging (working properly) through the inspection cover at the trans bottom.... seized pilot bearing?

Enough fluid? I'm assuming you mean in the master cylinder, in that case, yes. The fluid level in the master has been kept at the full mark.

At this point, I've even tried to preload the pedal, for more travel, and still no go. The car will start in gear but not go in to any gear while running. I'm starting to really think I fubar'd the pilot bearing on the install... after only the ~tenth time this car has had the engine pulled, I was bound to have done it now. ....the only part that really sucks about fubar'ing a $10 part is the fact I'm moving in a week (and I just dropped $3000 in to the engine, ECM, and injectors). f'na
