Guys, the anticipation is killing me..... Is there anyway to light off my 460 without having the factory harnesses installed?
A schematic/wiring diagram would be very useful! THANKS

Yeah.
Hook up ignition coil to +ve constant, hook up +ve to starter but remove the shunt bar on the starter, put a piece of 10a cable to the solenoid connection (the small terminal you took the shunt off) and simply touch and hold that to the battery, that'll turn the motor over and once the motor fires up just yank off the coil feed to kill it

I'm using the duraspark ignition module that will need juice too so don't think this will work in my case.

If it's a fresh build I wouldn't run it without some kind of oil pressure gauge or dummy light at least. It should be pretty easy to get it to run though. A couple 12v connections to all the necessary ignition stuff and starter along with hooking the ignition box up to the distributor should do the trick.
