It was at the dealer but they didn't get it started do you think the computer has to run the program for the 2007 engine

I think that's an entirely different motor. Your original motor was an LAP with VVT, IIRC the 07 is an L61 without VVT.

Does the motor you installed have VVT? Did that motor run before you installed it?

No vvt, yes it did run. When installed lost communication with all modules except bcm which gave the code b1370
