How did this short to ground occour during the installation? I would have to assume that something was damaged during the short, and it is just a matter of figuring out what. Check the battery B+ and ground cables and make sure everything is ok. I'm thinking that you may have damaged one of these cables.
You could also check power at the starter when attempting to start the engine. The large terminal should have B+ voltage at all times, and the smaller solenoid terminal should get power only when cranking (or when the key is turned to "start" position). I hope you have a decent volt meter or at least a test light. Does everyhting else in the car work (ie. headlights, stereo, etc.)?
Let me know what you find.
Andy
