Marc,
After cool down she cranked over about 10 degrees of rotation. I didn't do more than that as after that is when I added coolant & found it going to crankcase. I realized that no amount of hope & prayer would get it running without some major mechanical tear down. So I just gave up & waited on tow truck. Due to the small amount of engine rotation I don't believe it was heat seized, but rather coolant got into a cylinder on top of a piston. If it had tried to fire in that condition is when MAJOR damage such as bent/broken connecting rods occur. Thanx to all for your kind thoughts & crossed fingers.
