Angry Need help please!!!

Help please!
I recently rebuilt a 300 and had a bear of a time getting it to go back in to the tranny. So it sat for 2-3 weeks(with no plugs or dist in it), trying different ways to get it in, on numerous occasions after work . I finally got it in and all hooked up and now the motor is froze up. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix it , besides taking it out and starting alll over?

Thanks for any help

Put a little transmission fluid (about a tablespoon) in each of the cylinders. Let it set for a day with the plugs IN. Then take out all the pluds and then get a IIRC 7/8" socket (ya'll correct me if I'm wrong) and a breaker bar and try to spin the motor over by hand. If that doesn't work, then the only thing you can do is re-rebuild it.

Hopefully the transmission fluid will do it but if it does not, another thread have suggested to use SeaFoam "Deep Creep" available at Napa.
