Sounds like you got yourself a dead short on some pretty heavy
duty wire somewhere. I'd be looking at the starter wire as most
everything else would be protected by the fuses on the positive
battery terminal connector.

Might also want to check the wires going from the alternator to the fuses. Those wires are all in the loom and could melt a lot of things together if something goes wrong.
