i am pretty sure it does (has the original rear end as far as i know and when the rear is up and you spin the one tire the other one catches like it should)
CORRECTION: I should assume it does lol, finding out a lot of things on this car arent original!!! but still loving it none the less

put a wrench on the front crank bolt or A big socket see if you can turn it over by hand I once sheered all the bolts off a fly wheel when doing the same thing
with a 4 speed had it all wound up power shifted to second and clangity clang clang Very easy to over rev doing silly thing while showing off for split tail.

Sounds like you blew it up and its locked up to me. Can you turn it over by hand with a wrench? Donuts = oil slung up away from the pickup = locked up motors with ugly pictures of the insides posted at a later date. I hope I am wrong but it does not sound good.

ok so it sounds like i need a checklist here to check out, so far its;
Spark plugs
Oil
Hand crank to see if it turns easy
Anything else i am missing? will post pics of all this stuff tomorrow. too dark outside right now and kinda tired of messing with her tonight lol

It sounds like starter heat soak or a bad or low battery or loose wiring connection?
If it's heat soak the car should start a few hours later or in the morning after it cools down.
Check the battery charge and electrical connections and ground straps if that doesn't work. See if the starter came loose and isn't engaging the flywheel correctly.
If it isn't that the advice to check to see if the engine turns is good, then go from there if it moves. I can grab the belts and move mine, a socket on the balancer bolt works a lot better. I hate to say this but If you spun a bearing or did some other internal damage it could of seized up the engine after you shut it off. It did have oil presure and it was up to level I take it? That spinning around could of forced the oil away from the pump pick up and...lets just hope the engine turns over and it's the battery or something with the starter.

Big honkin' socket (about 1" or bigger) on a 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar.
Put that on the bolt that holds the crank pulley. Now pretend you are tightening the bolt and turn the thing clockwise. It should turn with some effort. More effort if the plugs stay in. If standing on it will not turn it, then it is possibly locked.

Sicky,
I hope it's the starter too.
X 2 on all the above. You might also try.
Get a tire iron and a buddy.Get your buddy to try to start it while you're under it banging the tire iron on the starter.
BE SURE IT'S IN PARK
Bye the bye It's "Cul de sac" and there are 43,560 square feet in an acre. [Real-estate jargon]

yeah i think it might be the motor as well... you can see in the video that the alternator turns slightly but only slightly. but i am def starting with the cheapest problem first. Guess this is one of those lessons learned most def, and glad i got video lol

Great vid
I agree, check your battery, cables & starter 1st, lots of things can get jostled when going fast in a circle. It happens in my mind all the time, but in that case, I just sit down, close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, and slowly stand up again.
I once took a long trip in my Olds, and when I came back, and jumped in to go to work the next morning, it made the same noises yours did (or lack of noises) It wound up being a cut cable from somewhere along the road home. Here's hoping that's it. Good luck!

The socket to turn the crank of my 455 is 1.1/8 its a big socket i dont know what olds 350s take. but chevy small blocks take a 5/8 socket. and it shouldnt turn really easy. but it shouldnt take all ur muscle to turn it.

have u tried to jump it and give the battery more power? incase it is ur starter.
also when u do turn ur crank over by hand. if it does turn over turn it 180 degrees one way then 180 the other.
