Need a little more info here, what motor was in the car before? how do you know the fuel pump isnt getting power, what happens when you crank it.
Is the car auto or stick? I know with each theres a switch were the car wont start if its not in park on an auto or if its a stick the clutch has to be pushed down, maybe you never got that swich wired up right.
Or maybe its something else thats not sending teh signal for the pump to turn on, I'm not sure how the v6's work but on the sunbirds the injector wont fire if its not getting a signal from the distributor to tell it to do so. Does the 2.8 you have got a distributor or coil packs?
need more info, and I'm not a v6 guy so I probobly couldnt help with the specifics anyways, lol

Did you swap the wiring with the fusible links in?

Are they all OK

Just a thought
