You've done a lot of good things, in attempting to get your 4 runner started. Try testing all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

Also, check for power to the distributor. Were any codes thrown?

kitch428 is our factory trained Toyota expert. He will undoubtedly see this posting soon and he will be able to tell you how to check for codes and give you his advice.
Take a multimeter and check for power coming into the distributor. If there's none, check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.
If the problem persists, there may be a problem with the distributor.

Be very thorough in checking the fuses, since it will save a lot of time and money. Many people mistakenly blow through this process.

Yes, an inexpensive test light is a great tool. Connect it to the negative terminal and go across each fuse. A mutimeter even better.
Do you have a check engine light with key on?
The EFI fuse under the hood is bad if it won't come on. There could be EFI problems. We'll diagnose those later.

Cool ,thanks I'll go get a meter tomorrow . Oh you the check engine light is always on after the heads were redone. Was told it probably has to do with the emissions... not sure. Thanks again, talk after the fuse check

If you want to go budget, a $2.99 test light from Harbor Freight will work. They also sell very inexpensive multimeters.
