motor is locked. I cant get it to turn by hand. No metal in the oil. I went to autozone to get some plugs and wires and went back outside to start it, but got nothing. Any ideas? Its the orignal motor to this car and it has ~180,000 miles on it. I'm an SVO nut so these v8's are a little foriegn to me

If you can't get it to turn by hand, or with a breaker bar on the crank bolt (not too rough, or you'll bust a ring). Can;t get it to turn that way no way will it ever turn any other way. Then its time to fill the cylinders with ATF and leave the plugs out and leave it like that for a while.
