This may have already been asked but have you turned the engine over from the front (harmonic balancer bolt) using a socket/rachet? It is possible that one of the cylinders may have gas or water in it causing hydro-lock.

is the starter motor actually trying to spin? pull it off and connect jumper cables to the terminals and see if it enguages and spins like it should, if the starter works, then you got another problem. I know when I have getting my 87 Gt runnign this week, my first starter I tried, the solinoid worked but the motor didn't, then I tried another extra started and had th opposite, so I ended up making one good starter out of the 2.
But it may be a good idea to spin the enigne over by had to make sure nothing is wrong. My other 87 GT I baught with the heads and all off of it, and all laying in the trunk. Owner said one gasket blew and never put it together. Me thinking it was fine, I put it all back together, took 2 days and used all new gaskets and a good set of heads, I go to fire the engine, it spun over 3/4 turn and stopped. Took hours to figure out it had a broken rod. What a waste of time.

ugh.. no work really done yet... been moping around a bit.. Alex no longer lives here.... its a complicated mess on why, but not only do i have 1/3 less income, i have .0001% motivation at this point... (neither of us did anything wrong though! it just sucks..) im about to go out there now and TRY to remove the door...
i also noticed i have no sunvisors.. anyone have a pair to donate? stephsformula has graciously volunteered to recover them for cost of materials, so as long as the skeleton is in good condition..
on a good note, i got promoted.. i start my manager training in a week or so.
.. and i march onward...[This message has been edited by BobadooFunk (edited 04-24-2007).]

Damn, dude. Sorry to hear that. I can definitely see where that would sap your enthusiasm. I hope things work out ok.
Any luck getting it started?
