Default need help badly with my install/swap

I have a 01 silverado and just bought a 07 motor and trans off Craigslist I swapped what I could and installed it but now it won't start I repinned the crank sensor to the new one got spark but to much so I was told I have to shave and build my new crank shaft sprocket to resemble my old one but just larger the new motor has a coil pack the truck has a distributor I don't have access to anymore parts cause truck was hit from behind so when he sold me the motor he junked the rest

i beleive painless performance is who you would need to contact you can call them and tell them what you have and they can build you a wireharness. have used them on a 79 ford engine swap and also on a cj7 i put a 6.0 in i believe they can get you running

Talked to painless that harness won't work but what I figured out today was that the crankshaft trigger for the old motor was a 3 prong and the new motor is a 34 tooth crankshaft trigger the new motor trigger is about 5" across my old trigger is 3-3.5" across so I can't swap triggers so imma try and weld the new trigger to resemble the old trigger just larger and see if that works any suggestions
