Electrical problem?

The engine is running great! On to the next project! Lets see what you guys make of this one.
Starting with a fully-charged battery the engine starts in just 3 or 4 seconds of cranking. I'll run the engine for 10 minutes in the garage, shut it down, and the battery is too dead to start again. I barely turns over. I tried another battery. Same process same results. Tried grounding the battery strait to the block. Same thing. Now heres where it gets tricky. With the headlights on, when i hit the starter....The lights don't dim. They are as bright as they are with a full battery. Shouldn't they go out or dim completely????
I am close to replacing the positive starter wire. What do you guys think?
Its embarresing to be pushing the car down the street and trying to jump in and pop the clutch.
Thanks in advance,
I can't wait to see what you guys make of this one.
