Do a compression test. If one cylinder is low it will still start. If two are low it may not run but should still fire. If more than that are low then probably isn't gonna start .are you getting it to fire at all?

How much money in parts do you still need? Get the compression test done and tell us the results. If its bad youwill have to pull the head to see if its just head damage. If so why not take the money you would have to spend to fix the stock head and put it towards the parts needed to finish the swap?

if you screwed it into the spark plug hole nice and tight and cranked her, then you did it right...timing has to be correct though...
