No compression? That's the only thing left in the starting sequence really. Maybe a weak spark tho or not enough fuel pressure

Timing!!!!
I swear that happened to me last month. I was drivn out the driveway in all sudden car turned off and wont start for shit. I checked all fuel and spark and it was good, i even swapped all parts from my other 5.0.
One week later still not starting i said fuck it and did the timing and wham started perfect no engine damage. Dont bother checking the timing, just do the timing.

Try changing your spark plugs out. You probably fouled them out with cranking the motor over so much. You can have spark at the plug wire itself but that doesn't mean its going through the plug good enough. Couldn't hurt to spend the 15 bucks for some fresh plugs anyway.

Don't forget to gap those plugs correctly too.
