2005 chevy avalanche 1500 5.3 4x4S

o I'm a DIYer, I've installed a 5.3 crate motor into my chevy avalanche. Just fired her up today, everything was looking good drive fine but is stalling. I had sent the computer off through mail.order tuner prior to having the motor put in. I am sending the computer back for them to fix it after telling them the truck is stalling when coming to a stop. Anyways I went to start the truck again today to go for another test drive and as soon as I went to turn on the ignition the truck had shut off and the starter was stuck continuously turning the motor over so I had to unplug the battery. I checked the fuses and the ignition fuse was blown I swapped it out for a new one. Tried starting the truck again and nothing the fuse keeps blowing when I go.to.turn the key idk anything about electrical nor where to start if anyone could help.me out it'd be very grateful. Currently pulling my hair out

idk anything about electrical

knowing something and having diagrams on hand is kind of a prerequisite for engine swaps.

 

for some background, what happened to the previous engine?


Old motor lost oil pressure had a knock

maybe the starter relay welded itself shut
