I should know in a few days why this one would not turn over after all those years of storage..... My money is on cyl 2 having frozen rings as it never let down on any of the fluids i used to soak it. The other 7 all leaked down into the pan eventually.

Decades ago I acquired a Commando 273 out of a car a guy junked. They had not used antifreeze. It's a long story LOLOL but the heads and 4bbl intake ended up on a 360 short block when I sold my old 70 RR. I had had a 340 in it for awhile. That 360 was a torque monster up to about 4500-4800 RPM and then you might as well shift or get out of it, because it was not gonna rev any higher with those
 
Now that engine and trans are out i can strip the rest of the Barracuda and get it on the rotisserie... i do think i will put them back in from the bottom however...
