Something catastrophic must've happened for it to stop like that. I had the whole bottom end (crank output cover) come loose on one of those oppys and it ran fine.

Yeah, I don't quite get it.  I plan on pulling the engine this weekend and look inside.  If I have to, I'll scab some parts together and get a runner again.

Does it turn easy by hand or is it tight or draggy?

Before today, it was easy to turn by hand. Right now, I cannot turn it by hand at all.

Failed to mention, I tried with plugs out as well. I also realized there isn't any end to end play now either.

Sounds kinda like a bearing tightened up. If it was a rod bearing, I wouldn't think that would change any feel of end play though as you'd think the wrist pin would still move some when you went to move the crank. Kind of rare for a main bearing to go bad unless you run it out of oil. Even then the rods generally go first. Not good that it's tight tho. Post pics if you find anything!
