    I would think that the engine has seized by this time. The metal parts have been in that position for so long now, I doubt it would ever start as it is anyway. You're probably looking at a complete engine overhaul to make sure everything is freely moving before it's started. (*good way to break pushrods, piston rings, rods, etc.) Still, for $500 bucks, an engine overhaul may cost a couple of thousand dollars... you'd still have a very sweet buy - and investment!

    I'd do it... I'd just be careful how you bring it back to life.
