Re: engine swap

a bad ground is a very big deal and will definitely cause problems with starting. Make sure all the connections are tight and clean. Do you know how to use a test light or multimeter? if so start testing your connections with one of those.

Re: engine swap

im guessing 3 like most other hondas battery to transmission, transmission to chassis, and I cant think of where the third would be but i think there is one. do you have power to anything such as lights? if not i would say take a look at your fuse box and make sure you reconnected that power.
