still stuck. I got about 1/2 of a crank and it’s not wanting to budge. Today I went in with the intent of pulling the heads. Lots of rust in the intake manifold. Got to the first head and nothing I did would allow the head to budge. Bent a very heavy duty pry bar. Researching machine shops to tear into the motor.

Gotcha. Good luck. I was able to turn mine 180 degrees with a breaker bar before it got stuck. I poured a home brew 50/50 ATF/Acetone mix into each cylinder and plan to let it sit a few days. Hope I can break it free.
