I have the Pro Torq. But they are simular, it has been many years ago, but it seemed to me that I just disconnected the battery of course and unbolted the starter and let it dangle down. then I just transferred the wires from like location to like location. I positioned the motor on the mounting block very tight up against the side of engine block for max distance from my hot headers.
Here is an old picture from back when I still had the racing 700R4 168 tooth SFI flex plate. I was never able to get much more that 50% tooth engagement no matter how I shimmed it. I called ProTorq and they said that was fine

the big negitive cable and the others tied on it went on one bit of the old starter, and the red cable im holding went on other bit of old starter, just cant remeber which bits! lol
im thinking the big negative cable and those tied to it go on top big bolt on starter motor and the red one im holding goes on the spade connector??, the connector on my red wire is a small loop
any idea's
cheers

Your almost right on except for the small black wire with the large end on it.
The very large battery cable pos. wire goes on the top lug or bolt on the starter solenoid.
The double wire with the white plastic connectors are the fusible links and they go on the top lug with the battery cable.
The wire in your hand is actualy purple and it needs to go on the spade of the solenoid.(youll have to change the end)
The small black wire with the large round end is a ground wire for the fan and wipers-it needs to go to the engine block-originally it was on one of the starter mounting bolts...I put it on one of the bellhousing bolts
