Engine Replacement issue

Hi guys, I recently swapped my fa20 due to blowing up my first one. Everything is connected. When I try to turn it on, all I get is the starter clicking. What can it be? Thanks in advance!

What can it be? A lot of things.

Maybe your car is rejecting the new engine -

I would suggest you start by having the battery load tested and charged.

This. Your battery is most likely dead.
Charge it.

If the battery checks out OK then you need to check your grounds and make sure you have them connected and tightened down.

Rip apart the block and replace the fried piston rings.
