ugh engine removal

[MadJack]

ok so im in the last steps of getting the engine pulled out of the exploder, going to do the torque converter nuts and the damn engine will not turn over, short of attempting to pull the trans with the engine. any other way to get those bolts out?

[VetteHunter]

can you not drop the trans without pulling the engine?

Pull spark plugs & turn over??

remove engine with converter still attached, only problem is it will make a big mess

[MadJack]

sadly brett i think this is my only choice, i have the heads off and i tryed moving the crank and its still a no go.

have you tried getting a bigger breaker bar? is the starter locked up causing the engine not to turn?

Are u doing anything special to the engine or just putting in a fresh one?
