I've just about completed my first v6 to v8 swap in my 86 mustang. Ive put a nicely built 302 in it with the AOD trans. Swap was fairly straight forward. I'm now having some electrical issues with the park/neutral safety switch. When I turn the key to the run/on position the starter engages. When I push the key to "start" I lose power to the solenoid. Anybody have any ideas? This is my first Ford project.

Sounds like the start/run/off wires are in the wrong place but that is a guess.
What harness are you using?
