chances are the melted earth on the head took it for the team and the others survived but need check them
adding a fat/0 gauge earth lead engine to chassis won't hurt as the OE wire is old (past it's best) and not that fat to start with
regards the non start was it running ok 3 years ago as in you heard it running not the seller said it ran ok
,has it run since doing the manual gearbox swap,have you checked its getting fuel and sparks,
if you haven't heard it running a compression test could tell you a lot about it's condition (high or low comp readings) chances it will start or not
