Default Someone help please!!!

I just did an engine swap on my 2002 C5. Went to a cast iron 5.3L block bored and stroked to 383CI. Some of the ground wire locations on the block are different. Now the starter is just clicking. Took it off and it tested good battery is new. Help

Side post battery? This may sound too simple, but check to make the cables are tight and not cross-threaded. I carry a 5/16 wrench in car because this has happened to me more than once. Good luck

That pic helped out tremendously. The starter is working now. The car still won't start. I think I might have an issue with the 2 grounds on the driver's side of the block. Do you happen to have photos of those grounds too?

no sorry, but they mount in a similar spot on the drivers side.

did you disturb the crank sensor behind the starter or forget to hook it up ??? I have heard of some just tapping it (like with the starter) and cracking it also !!
