battery was half dead won't enough juice to start got a buddy to give me a jump put key in buzzer and dummy lights on starter clicked not enough juice after that no lights no click nothing everything dead even with jumper cables attached did I blow a fuse?? Or is my batt completely dead after the first turn over attempt If so we're to check 79 cutlass swapped with 355 sbc
 
id check fusible links at the starter solenoid,might have burned one up while jumping it,check ground from the battery to the engine block as well as the end that attaches to the body.

Checking that in the morning have a highly power mini starter with the engine swap don't even think there's a fuseble link even there as a problem while ago the wire to the starter came aloose already checked that tho
 
with no fusible links and just strait wire to the starter and past you may have fried quite a few things O.O...id get some on there asap of the correct gauge and start checking down the line

the starter does not have a fusible link, the wires with the fusible link give power to the fusebox. Why start changing parts until you do some tests to see what is wrong

According to somaphax attached picture there's two located just after the starter solonoid just saying and this was a engine swap so don't know if the wires are even the same pulling my hair out at the moment thought that was the fuse in the picture I posted gonna grab a multimeter and trace back
