My 1977 chrysler 318 engine won't trun over. The block won't trun. It ran last year. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? The fish are bitting and I'm stuck.

" Kevin, will be glad to help but need more info. You say the engine wont turn over. Is this to say the starter wont turn it or it wont turn by trying to rotate engine by hand. Was it properly winterized? Will it turn by hand if all spark plugs are removed? Give me more info and we will try to help. Kim "
