OM617 Newbie

[BenzHeartYota]

Just recently picked up an '85 OM617 turbo out of the local salvage yard. I have been researching the engine swap into my Toyota pickup, so when I saw this complete engine still in the car I jumped at the chance to get it. The clock read 128,xxx miles so I figured it couldn't be too bad. I pulled it and jumped it while on the ground to make sure it was not seized up. Now it sits in my garage on the floor and I am lost. I have experience with diesel engines just no enough to give advice or know exactly what I am doing. That is the reason I brought my problem to the experts in search of some valuable information.

Right now I am just trying to get it started to see if it will run. Unfortunately I have had no such luck. What am I doing wrong?

The pos off the starter solenoid is attached to the pos on the battery via 2 gauge wire. I have another 2 gauge neg going from the starter housing to the neg on the battery. There is a second ground 6 gauge wire from the block to the neg battery. The glow plugs are still wired as they were in the car I just have some jumper wires plugged into the factory controller box with a single wire I touch the battery with to heat the plugs. I have the lift pump fuel line in a fuel can and the fuel return line in the same can. The lift pump works fine.

My steps to get it started:
#1 I used the lift pump until the fuel started returning to the can.

#2 I hit the glow plugs for about 15 seconds

#3 Then I started turning the engine over.( 1/2 throttle)

#4 There was a little smoke but not much and not even a stutter trying to start.

#5 I read to spray some WD-40 but no luck there either.

#6 I pulled the #5 fuel line from the injector and cranked the engine. There are slow fuel drips coming from the line while cranking. The #4 fuel line was the same way.

That is where I ran out of ideas. I don't know what else to do. I'm not even sure the engine is good. Is there something that I am missing? I really appreciate you reading my long and boring post.
