Hot battery cables

I just put my engine back in my bird, and when I go to start it, it turns really slow. My hood is not on yet, and I do notice the negative battery cable jumping when I engage the starter. Naturally I was curious, so I touched the cable and the cable was incredibly hot. Both cables actually. The car did not have this problem before I pulled the engine so I am confused. Everything is grounded, and terminals are clean. Battery is new, starter is not that old, nor is the solenoid. Any ideas?
