ok, theres a few things that i really dont understand, i'll state a few facts first then i'll ask some questions to try to figure out what your actual problem is....
first off, if the front accesories move, then the crank is moving, since the starter turns the fleplate, which turns the crank which turns the crank pulley and then the front accesories.
Second...What makes you think that the pistons arent moving? I assume the heads are on. Therefore the only way to tell if the pistons are moving is to use a compression tester or remove a sparkplug and put your finger over the hole and check for compression as you turn the crank. As long as you didnt unbolt the rod caps, the pistons ARE moving.
OK now i'll try to help you solve this.. i'll try to briefly explain the main steps of a basic cam swap, starting at the installation of the new cam...
Install new cam,
bolt up cam retainer plate,
align timing mark on crank timing gear(top) and cam gear(bottom),
Install timing chain making sure gears still line up,
Install timing cover,
reinstall lifters,
reinstall pushrods,
reinstall rocker arms,
reinstall valve covers, intake manifold, water pump and front accesories,
move crank balancer to TDC(comp. stroke -when piston is up in cylinder1)
install distributor - make sure the rotor points to #1 cly. wire on the cap,
reconnect plug wires according to firing order
If you did all that right, you need to explain you problem more.
Bumping the starter will turn the crank, there is no "crank clutch".
If you are having trouble dropping the distributor in, it will only go fully in 2 ways, one way is 180 degrees out. post back so i can get a better idea of whats going on.
