Today (November 4) I went out to the shop to figure out what the heck was going on. I know it couldn't be mechanical, because the whole issue was insufficient fuel due to a malfunctioning fuel pump relay socket. So to confirm this I shot a bit of fuel into the throttle body and sure enough the car fired. Okay, so I had to be an issue with the way I rewired the engine bay when I swapped motors.
I checked continuity between various items such as AMM and ECU and idle IAC and the FPS and was getting weird and inconsistent results. So I started removing and checking each engine bay connection.
Someone please come to my house and kick my miserable butt as hard as they can. Twice please. I found I had switched the two multi pin connections on the passenger side up by the cowl. Swapped them around and WOW it lives!!!
Thanks for everyone's input on this, every bit of info was greatly appreciated, dead end or not. I am especially grateful to Amarin, for hanging in there to the end!
Again, thanks folks\!!!!
