not starting

I just did the ol 2.8 to 3.4 swap. I'm just having a minor electrical promblem the starter doesn't even click when i try and start it. The feul pump comes on all the electrical with the car works fine, it's just not even attempting to turn over. I'm just bringin this up here cause i know someone who reads this might have had this promblem once or have heard it b4.

check your starter relay and make sure you have the right wires on the right terminals on the starter. Make sure they are tight... even remotely loose and you will have problems.
It is 95% that most of the time.
