Engine turns but flywheel does not
I recently picked up a 1986 z28 with a swapped engine (350 carb). It hasnt been started in years, and when I tried turning it over it seemed like the starter wouldn't fully engage the flywheel. So I tried cranking the engine with a ratchet to see if it would rotate and it turned reasonably easily. However, when i checked the flywheel after I cranked the engine a few more rotations, I noticed it hadn't moved at all. What would cause this??

Broken flywheel bolts, or broken crankshaft.
