Electrical problems
Recently I had my engine rebuilt, and it ran good for about a week, then the starter solenoid had to be replaced. It was fine again for a few days then the ignition module had to be replaced. Then, after only a few more days, I began having trouble with the starter (only a starter motor whine when trying to start engine). I wondering if there might be a common problem for the solenoid/module/starter acting up within the same week.

Sure,
Yesterday I got the starter motor whine, but today it turned over but no fire. The module I bought was a used one, so I bought a new one tonight and it started. But I don't trust that this will last long. Two days ago the engine went dead (while driving) 13 times. It would start after each time, but it was hard to start. I bought the starter solenoid about 5 days ago after I only got a clicking noice when trying to start.

I would make sure the connection on the battery side of the solenoid is clean.
Now that You have explained what happened, I would say that terminal on the solenoid to the battery is the problem.
As far as the engine stopping running that will take some more searching for the cause.
An ignition system needs 8 volts to operate.
