Any codes?

Since you recently did a trans swap, you may have a grounding issue. I'd add two new grounds from the trans bell housing to the battery to see if that does the trick.

Are you sure you're not immobilized? What's the security light doing as you crank it?

If the last time you started it and had to tap the gas and now cranks but no start sounds like possibly your fuel pump may be done. Try turning the key to acc and listen to see if you hear the fuel pump prime and ofcoarse check for codes.

potentially ur fuel pump almost on its way out, i mean it makes sense if you have to give it gas to start it.. so its something fuel related. or possibly a grounding issue.
