Then ol man tcoat might be right. If this was any other engine I would have done a quick compression test. That would have narrow it down. But doing that in this car is a major pita.

Clogged pump, lack of fuel, electrical issues, etc would all result in a normal full crank but no ignition so not start. That starter is straining big time just to turn that engine over. There is something jammed in there causing that resistance. Be it a spun bearing, bent connecting rod, one or more stuck valves or some other moving part that engine has serious issues. Be interesting to look at an oil sample and see if it sparkles like a Twilight vampire.
