Check the bigass main connector and make sure all the pins are secure and not bent, I had two bent pins on the engine side and one loose when I did this. I did get a MAF sensor code eventually but certainly not within the first minute or two of cranking.

There's a couple gotchas on the timing chains if you interpret the instructions wrong but it's hard to not get at least the first chain installed correctly and one bank firing 'close enough'.

Edit - agree transmission mate is harder then it should be, those alignment pins should really be tapered for convenience. Last time I did it one actually stuck in the transmission so it hit on the new shortblock and took us a few minutes to figure out why it wouldn't go lol, thankfully came out real quick with a light tug of some vice grips.
