Thank you all!!! I went out today and used booster cable to ground the engine and starter. It turned over. I went and tried to glow it but couldn't see any response on my indicator but the dash light dimed. So I turned her over and it started up and ran smooth with no smoking right away!! I was speechless and happy. Now I must get the engine out and transplant it. On the 76 240D is there just the two engine mounts? When I pull the motor and tranny out of the recipient car do I pull engine and tranny together or let the tranny stay behind? Also the glow system on the donor is with the thicker metal joiners while the recepient car is using heavy gauge twisted wire and no insulators. Does either system work in either car? The recipient car does not have a ground on the engine block while the donor car system does not.

Any more thoughts about this process I am entering into?
