Did you check to see if the fuel pump is coming on line? Make sure there is no obstruction in the fuel filter or rail on either sides. Let me know what turns up.
 
Almost seems silly to suggest this, but did you remember to reconnect the electrical harness to the fuel pump after the swap. Look to see if it is connected. If it is then use a voltmeter to check for voltage at the pump when someone tries to start the car. Let us know what you find.
 
If you're running DSMLink you can try flipping on the fuel pump and see if it kicks on and pressurizes the system, also double check all your connections and make sure everything is correct, if you re-wired your fuel pump see if you're getting voltage. Have you found any leaks or do you smell fuel at all when you try to start it, as if theres a leak? It's most likely something small that's been overlooked.
 
All good ideas.

Also, you could check to see if you have any soot in your gas tank that could be clogging up the pump sock.

When did you install your fuel pump? Did it work before the swap? Did you touch anything around the fuel pump? What type of wiring did you do? Did you happen to change any fuel lines? Answer me these questions and it will help me help you.
