Car runs for a couple mins, then elec. dies

I've just replaced the fuel pump, batt., and alterntor on my V6 Bird. It runs for about 2 mins then dies. The elec. just DROPS all of a sudden. I jump it again and it will just die in 2 more mins. I'm thinking there's a short somewhere. Could it be something else?

Does all power cease? Lights, instruments, interior, etc?

what is your fuel pressure at when it does this. put a charger on the battery and leave it on while the car is running. see if it till cuts off after a couple minutes
