That was my next question....how is it turning. Given what you've told me, I would look really closely at the starter solenoid mounted on the passenger side fender and the positive and ground cables. It sounds to me like you're not getting enough voltage to the starter that in turn is causing the starter drive to not fully engage, causing the grinding.
