got a dead '83 300D Turbo; anyone want parts? (I need help, too)

Guys, I need some serious advice.

I bought this '83 300D from this guy who said it had oil pressure problems. I bought it and trailered it to my house. I cleaned out the ALDL circuit and it ran like a champ for about 2 hours. Then it stalled and now it won't turn over, at all.

I pulled the motor and tranny, now they're sitting behind the car. Tried taking the tranny off the motor, but you gotta rotate the flexplate in order to get at all the bolts for the torque converter. I took out the glow plugs and put a 3 foot breaker bar on the crank bolt and nothing happened. Is this typical? OR am I really hosed.

Anyway, I don't want the car- just the motor. Anyone want parts off of this? I need to try and make some money off of it so I can get rid of it.

I'll take pictures of it and post them up in a few hours, if anyone's interested. It's pretty solid. I'll ship almost anything.
