Yeah, it took a while for mine to start up. Just keep cranking it. What seemed to work for me was to give it a little gas as you crank it, started right up when I did that.
It also might take a while for your engine to maintain an idle, so you'll have to keep your foot on the gas until it does.

Mine was a factory rebuild and fired right up, who built yours?

Check everything - look for large vacuum leaks, misaligned crank angle sensor, plug wires on properly, etc. These are some of the more common no-start problems on a motor swap.
