Also if you havent already found it check out the website C Body Drydock A wealth of info for our cars and not a better group of site members to be found anywhere. Not all caught up in there particular kink. As long as you dont bellitle people and talk trash they will do anything they can to help you out. Not saying you personally would do that but you know there are a lot of sites that are rampant with people that do. LOL.

It has potential....wow...a 440! Try putting a little PB Blaster down the spark plug holes. enough to cover the top of the piston. let it set a few days. Get a oil pump primer too. Get the biggest breaker bar you can find. Try to turn it over with the breaker on the crankshaft bolt after couple days of the PB Blaster soaking the pistons. The H.A.M.B website has a lot of stories on getting the frozen motors to turn. My 383 Super Commando sat for 15 years and it actually wasn't froze! Good Luck!
