Mechanics of reddit I need help

My lady loves my turbo 94. So we picked her up a 96. No engine, trans in trunk. We rebuilt the engine in the living room and got everything installed in. But we have an issue, no crank. So Imma list of some information and please chime in with ANY ideas!

Problem: No crank

No cel when key turned to position 2

All gauge lights, heater fan, gauges, headlights, brake lights, and turn signals work

Battery is definitely not the issue (using 950cca battery)

Ground lead from battery to frame is brand new

Ppf ground strap and engine ground strap brand new (contact areas cleaned too)

Able to get starter to crank engine with screwdriver (did not get spark tho)

S terminal lead getting 0v when trying to crank

80amp main fuse is good

Neutral safety switch bypassed

Top clutch switch working (tested with multimeter)

0bd2 reader fully communicates with ecu

So yeah... I'm at a loss. PLEASE SPITBALL IDEAS!
