Starter issues

I was going to start my new engine today, but when I hooked up the negative battery cable the engine began turning over. I obviously screwed up the starter wiring somehow... but everyone that has looked at it says it looks right (Even my shop teacher). It is bypassing the ignition switch completely. Any help is appreciated!

For what it's worth, this was a V6 to V8 swap.
