"Not sure how you jumped the battery but there is a black/purple wire that comes from the starter solenoid to the positive side of the coil to provide power to the coil while starting, once it's started and you let go of the key a different circuit from the alternator supplies power through a resistor wire to keep the coil powered (at a lower voltage). I would begin by cleaning all battery connections at the battery and at the starter/solenoid and then do some voltage checks, do you have a manual with a wiring diagram?
ps....as the 3.0 has a different gear ratio in the drive you will need to try your 15 in pitch prop and see what the RPM's are at top end speed and go from there, it's going to be a compromise.
Actually if your stuck for a diagram go to this thread, I had put a generic one in there about half way down, it should be fine to help with your problem, it's a little fuzzy so best to save it as a an image and you can blow it up some.
