92 Regal 3.8 starting woes

Woohoo, my first post! To the point. I have a 92 Regal 3.8 and the bastard wont start. Recently I changed the trans out on it but shortly after the car developed a start/run issue. I have checked the control module, coils, plugs, fuel pump is functionally properly. THe only things I havent checked are the cam & crank sensors. If I have to rip this thing apart again I probably swap a supercharged 3800 in here.

If it cranks, check for spark, make sure the plugs are gapped properly as my car wouldnt start because they were gapped wrong... Then check for fuel pressure at the engine, just cause the pump is working doesnt mean its making it all the way to the engine... Third, check for vacuum leaks, If there is a major one, it might prevent it from starting...

As asked already, does your engine crank, or just make a click? OR, does it not do ANYTHING? My car has the LN3 as opposed to your L27, but yours is just a tuned/updated version. Is your car having trouble in the cold? My engine is difficult to start in the cold, but then again, I need to have the fuel system looked at.
