Spray some WD40 or other type of lube/oil in all cylinders and use wrench on harmonic balancer bolt.  If it turns freely then cylinders should be good.  You don't need to spray a lot of WD40 in the cylinders.  Just enough to cover the walls.

Defiantly change out the fuel.  I spent two months, trying to diagnose why I was having so many problems getting a project Pontiac 350 to run properly, just would not stay om for me.  Finally, I come home from work one day, and notice a leak coming from the back of the car, the darn tank had actual rusted through in one spot and fuel was running out.   Pulled the tank, OMG what a nasty mess of rust, sludge and bad fuel.   Messed up my new rebuild on a Edelbrock carb I had just done.    Anyway, I finally pulled that engine out and will install a 400 with a quotrojet and new Fuel tank, sender etc. in place.   Bet it starts right up.  LOL.
