Is this in a A body with a 440 if so pull it as a unit, I am pretty sure the 727 will not slide past the converter in the car.
Actually you dont. I've pulled a locked up big block 400 a few years back. Lift the car and support it on jack stands as high as it can go that will still allow a hoist to lift it out, lift the engine and trans out through the engine bay, then once it's out, simply un bolt the bellhousing from the block and pull the whole trans back and out of the toque converter, then you'll be able to get all the bolts out for the torque converter.? Did I not ask this correctly? In order to get the engine out of car I need to turn the engine so I can unbolt the flex plate from the torque converter, then the trans from the engine. It was an easy question and I was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.
I should have posted it over at Moparts for additional stupid replies.

Everyone has mentioned the advice I have already but man that sucks. Funny how that is a situation no one ever thinks about happening.
I'll be watching this one to see how it goes!
And get you one of these Mark, makes it a ton easier...

Yes back in 1974 , brand new 440 , parked it and next day it would not turn over , revolt no turn , breaker bar no turn , pulled out engine and trans together? Did I not ask this correctly?

there's your problem.......you installed the wrong antifreeze! It's supposed to be the blackish, thick stuff.
Well, you definately cracked the block somewhere to get into the water jacket.... :violent1:
It's trashed.... :banghead:
Crazy, isn't it! I just had to laugh.

Lordie, I'm glad you can laugh. The demise of my original 70 V code was on I-5 S of Stockton, about 2:AM in the early 70's. This was on a semi-illegal 4 day's off from NAS Miramar. Spent the rest of the weekend...........
Drunk wrecker operators from "wherever" into Stockton.......
Bus ride to 'Frisco
Taxi to Oakland airport
Big plane back to San Diego.
Fired up the black '64 440 (426) rented a U haul tow bar and drove all the way from San Diego to "wherever" S of Stockton and towed the poor thing back to NAS Miramar.
No 6 rod cap? rod let loose, one or two next to that one, and broke the cam. I Pulled the distributor, the intake, the valve covers, and threw the rest into the garbage can.
did you pull the spark plugs ?
He has too many Mopars to assume you are talking about any one platform....and two differentThought it may have been an A-Body......
