Can anyone tell me what else to look at?

I all but hydrolocked my engine with pudding mud. all the way to the intake. I have stripped everything down and cleaned all plastic. Used MAP sensor cleaner on the sensor.
Changed Plugs and Wires. On inspection of the intake, the sump area beyond the butterfly, also had a 1/2" of pudding so obviously the intake must come off to clean and inspect further. And ultimately the engine is still not starting. Have I destroyed sensors? and how deep am I in this motor now?
 
I would advise taking the intake off and if there is even a HINT of crud in it I'd be pulling the heads also.

YOU are the only one looking at that mess..YOU will have to decide what you have screwed in the way of sensors. No telling from here what the cat and muffler look like.

Wow what a mess you must have there.. Where others drive into mud with a vengence..I drive around it..ALWAYS!

I was the one that would always go through the mud/water, but after almost hydrolocking the motor (only stalled it, but still inhaled water), I now go around alot of water, but alittle is still fun, haha.

I would HIGHLY recommend changing the oil if you haven't already done that.
