Question: why does my polo play stall

hi hope all is good
I have a 1.4 polo playa 2001 model, i replace the 1.4 cranck with a 1.8 cranck and 1.8 pistons, so the rest of the engin is still 1.4.
the car stalls as if there no petrol in it and it runs lean. i replace the petrol pump in the tank and the petrol pump relay, but still the problem remains.
what do u think is the problem?
help me plz
