<VV> '65 Corvair question.

[Cash Case]

I've got a motor that I'm tuning up before we put it in my son's car.  
I changed the car from an auto to a manual.
I replaced front and rear main seals and new distributor internals  
and spark plugs. I replaced the bell housing and oil filter housing  
gaskets.
While trying to get the distributor set correctly I was turning the  
crankshaft by it's center bolt. Just before TDC the crank stops  
turning. I tried turning it the other direction but when it gets  
almost to the same place it locks again.

Before I pull the heads off and commit to all that stuff, does anyone  
have any idea what I might be able to eliminate first.

I'm now fairly certain that I was seriously ripped off on this  
engine. The guy I purchased it from said that it was running. I'm  
finding all kinds of stuff that makes me doubt it. I'm not even going  
to admit how much I paid for this motor. It was the only (supposedly)  
complete 110 motor that I found that someone wanted to sell me.
