Transmission install..
What others are saying, - There can be an issue with the crank not having been drilled deep enuff on automatic trans crankshafts that the trans input shaft is too long and needs to be trimmed back a 1/4inch-ish.
This issue causes the trans to shove the crankshaft forward, and hard against the engine main thrust bearing when the trans is cinched up to the bell housing.
Because it's unknown if the engine was drilled, or the previously mated trans was trimmed, caution is recommended.
If the crank won't turn, there may be a reason.
Loosening the trans may ease the issue.
If the crank turns, forget about it .
If the trans is too long, installed and engine started, the engine main thrust bearing is wiped, and crank damage may/does occur.
Good luck .
I'll try to find the pilot bearing depths, but I'm on the wrong puter.
Not sure if this'll help, best I got right now.
