Gary's advisement's are good. I would add check compression with 20 SECOND squirt of WD 40 added to each and all cyl's first, and disable spark and fuel as you mentioned and do a compression test. Also, with owner permission, remove valve cover and look for light brown tarnish(normal)( any sludge or carbon or antifreeze is unusual) AND measure the exhaust valves for anything above .014". Any below .012" may indicate valve burning or lots of valve seat and face wear. Reuse the original VC gasket after quick mop with Brake clean spary and a skiff of Ultra Grey gasket maker. If power train is car is original, keep in mind the thin paper pan gaskets split and were displaced out just above where the shifter rod is. Broken exhaust studs are a major hassel as is a cracked exhaust manifold.
