Default Need help with an electrical short on the ignition system.

I did a dizzy swap, when i go to start the car and try to crank the engine i get a buzz sound from the engine compartment, the car does not crank and when it does its very lazy as if does not have enough power, I replaced the battery, dash harness, fuse box and ignition switch and harness and the problem remains.
The short seems to happen only when i go to crank the motor which is very odd.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I can provide a video of me cranking the car if that helps. PLEASE ADVISE before i go crazy xD
Thanks!

I just replace my battery cables to more heavy duty ones thinking the ones before it might not be doing the job. Still the car doesn't crank right, it acts extremely weak when turning. The battery is full charged as I have an industrial battery charger. I really no longer have any clue any help i would greatly appreciate, I have a web cam and speakers so i can show you live. Any help is much appreciated.
