Default wont start after engine swap

im only getting 10.5v at the battery. i had the battery tested and replaced it with a brand new full charged battery. battery shows 14.4v until i hook it up, then it reads 10.5v. ive checked all the grounds i could find and they are good. any suggestions?

I had the same problem, I found I missed the ground that is below the power steering pump. I went thru 2 batteries, and tons of trouble shooting.

did you get the one on the back of the engine, right next to the oil pressure sensor?

The braded ground needs to be on the back of the head also

i put the braided ground on the block next to the oil pressure sensor. there was two small ground wires that were also on the back of the block next to the cam sensor. i will move the braided ground to the head.
