Trying to get some ideas for my older brother on this car. All stock with a replaced 350 with a M21 behind it.
It has been garaged but not run for many decades. Life got in the way as he used to run it a few times a year.
It was not parked because of mechanical issues, he did have to replace the clutch as the previous unit seized to the flywheel from sitting.
He would like see about getting it going again. He has tried to spin the motor by hand but it only moves a few inches either direction.
Could it be the transmission interfering although I would guess he is trying to rotate the small block with the transmission in neutral.
If not the tranny will he just have to pull the motor and start disassembling to see?
Hoping to get some advise I can relay to him to possibly shorten his frustration. He has had the car since about 1980.
