Hello and thanks for the help in advance. I recently showed interest in a neighbor's 87 F250 that wont start but just makes a fairly loud clunk(starter engages). I was hoping it would be something as simple as starter or battery. I replaced both as well as battery cable clamps which were corroded and solenoid. I also had a friend try popping the clutch(4 speed manual transmission) while I pulled it in another truck. No luck. I am starting to think it my be a blown or seized engine even though oil level is good. Please help me with further troubleshooting. I have to make the first payment to him by Friday if I'm buying the truck. It has around 150,000 miles, 4x4, and has the 5.8 liter gas motor.
