I've replaced the battery and starter. I'll turn the key
over and I can hear the fuel pump kick on. But
when I go to start it nothing happens. It just acts
dead.

Check to see if when someone is turning the key to the start position, that there is power on the small wire down at the starter solenoid. If there is not, check the starter relay, then it may be with the ignition switch, clutch safety switch, or even the neutral safety switch.
