There is no way anyone could know what is wrong with No fuel and no spark. Start with a basics. Check all the fuses.
The fuel pump is a common issue, no spark in any cylinder is not as common.
Forget the swap, it is a ton of work and requires very deep pockets. There is a sticky thread V6-V8 swap in this sub folder. Check out the project sub folder for people who have done it.

So you think the only thing that will make a no start is a Coil pack, ECM and a Crank sensor?
Are you sure you have fuel in the cylinder and are you sure you do not have spark? All three items you listed would be on my VERY rare causes for no starts.
Vats system, fuel pump and Spark control module would be much higher on my list but I would start with tests not just changing parts.

So if you know why its not sparking and why you have no fuel is there a question?
If you just want to know about the swap, Go over to the project section and check out what is involved.

If the crank sensor has failed, you will get a no spark.
As long as the dealership did in fact check it as being bad, and you're not just being told a story by the previous owner.

You'll get to see and hear the answer to that one, once you have the engine running and take car out on the road.
