I'm trying to turn my car over after putting the new egine in and I'm just getting a clicking from the starter solenoid. No fuel from the lines, and several of the relays (windshield wiper and underdash) are humming. Not...QUITE sure what's going on...electronics is not my forte. Any help would be appreciated.

If it won't turn over at all, check your engine ground. This appears to me to be a pretty common problem. It looks fine, but has gone bad. C

Give it a try can't hurt. Use your jumper cables, put a neg clamp on the drain plug and the other neg on the steering rack, or another place where it'll be well grounded, like a shock tower and try and turn it over.
Not too sure about the humming relays though............worth thinking about.......

Yeah it was the wire coming off the post on the pass. side of the engine bay. It got stuck behind the engine when we were putting it in so...I never saw it. Then I was reading the Bentley and there were FOUR wires going to the starter and I only remembered hooking up three...so...yeah.:wgaf:
