Please help! my car wont start..

Today a friend and I finished rebuilding my motor. But when i tried to start it i got nothing. The starter sounded, but the cams and everything else did not move. does anyone have any ideas what may have caused this to happen?

Its an evo 8 w brand new 2.4 block....
