350 Won't Start-Only Backfires

I've got a 350 sitting in my Camaro, it was already swapped when I bought it, and run good until I blew the motor up, I've got this one in and it won't start, just turns over and and if I hold the throttle open it'll backfire through the TBI. I'm sure I have the timing right, cause I set it with the valve covers off to watch the rockers and also by the timing mark on the balancer.
I've set and reset the valves, but that still maybe the problem...

Are you sure its on top dead center and not 180 out. Usually it backfires through the TBI or carb if the timing is off.
