Did you swap all the ancillaries?I've had this before with that very engine,a totally seized alternator causing the v belt to jam up.it could be something easy like that,I cut the belt and it fired instantly but changing the alternator was a pig of a job,didn't help mine had aircon!!!
Iirc there is a pulley system between the alternator and the belts and pulleys which is held on the coupling with three bolts meaning you could just undo them and try it?

Only reason i mentioned it is cos my one did the same thing as that but it acted like the engine was seized,I shit myself!!I cut the belt as the engine wouldn't turn at all even with a powerbar on the pulley.I took a guess on the belt but it was right and I've actually had this now on about 4 cars we had in the workshop and it was always something on the v belt drive.
