No power issue?!
Guys I need some help with an issue that `had driven me nuts all day. I have had minimal time to work on this car and have finally gotten to the point that it is ready to run. I have a 2003 Bonneville SSEI that I swapped engines in. Easy enough? I thought so. I get everything hooked up and go to fire the dude up and have nothing...no power on anything. Obvious things that I checked were all connections. I went to put a different battery in and realized that there is a short somewhere because when I go to hook the cables up it sparks like crazy. The only thing I can come up with is maybe the starter? Does the starter have 2 thick gauged cables hooked up to it? I checked all the fuses at the fuse boxes as well... Any ideas would be appreciated! Need help!!!

I believe the starter has two cables, one from the battery and one from the alternator.
check the big 5 wiring:
alternator to starter
starter to battery power
battery ground to engine block
battery ground to chassis
battery power to accessory fuse block
