i was wondering what some obvious reasons why a 351 would not run. lets say the nothing majorly wrong/blown motor. the thing is, is that i dont know if it cranks...until saturday that is. im going to look at this 69- sportsroof, 351, 3speed for $1500. even not running thats a good deal i think.

i was thinking
no spark
bad gas
seized (guess that is major now isnt it)
heads are jacked up (kinda major too)
and i dont know.

and ideas? things to check for?

thanx

If its nothing major either spark or fuel. Could be a clogged fuel filter, bad gas, spark plugs. Hard to say without looking at it. But if the body is in good shape I'd say 1500 would be a deal, at least around here it would be.
