Confirm all grounds also try a secondary ground w/ Booster Cable Neg. Battery to Starter body.
Any chance your timing's too advanced? 
Best of luck!

Pete I was getting alittle smoke from the ground wire at the battery when cranking and the fenders are currently off the vehicle so the ground from the battery cable to the fender is not hooked up! This car has got the biggest battery cables Iv ever seen probably the diameter of a quarter! I’m gonna shim one side of the starter as Mr Brown suggests because it’s definitely grinding but I think u might have the answer with the ground!
Yea know I wasn’t thinking I had messed with the timing but now u bring it up I did have the intake off to restore it so that’s also a possibility! I’ll get back after it in the morning and report back! Thanks
