...if the engine is 'locked' then there will be no movement. If it will turn a little in either direction before stopping then you have several potential scenarios. If the engine has been sitting a long time it is likely rust in the cylinders. Pull the spark plugs and spray some penetrating oil into each hole.
It is also possible that a con rod came loose...
For detailed info on the trans check with the guys on the 'forward look' web site. They have a huge crowd over there all dedicated to cars like yours.

As the other guy said, take out the spark plugs and spray in PB Blast. I freed up an engine with PB blast and it runs good now. I have a 59 Dodge also and they can be push started, but dont try anything until you have the engine unlocked and running.
