torque converter?
i cant think anymore after being up over 48 hrs and i want to confirm my engine is seized and its not the starter or trans...the torque converter rotates whenever the motor is running, regardless of gear right? so its not possible to rotate the converter without rotating the engine? if the trans locks up will that lock up the engine?

i bought a 95 v8 4.6l tbird monday and it ran fine...it had a tick that went away and an engine code P0102 for the MAF...almost made it home and it died...got it to start at wot but it would knock real bad and it back fired...when it backfired the entire plastic air cleaner blew up into pieces...tried to start it today with a new air cleaner and another maf...same problem and only starts at wot and needs gas to stay alive at 1-2 rpms knocking bad...felt like the starter jammed so i cranked the engine by hand and it is getting hung up...it will almost make a full rev but it jams up and i hear it hit metal on the pside...i dont understand how it could have run so well...after more attempts to start it will not crank at all and ive broken the crankshaft bolt

No, it will not.
You have an engine problem, not a trans problem.

You can't flood the engine cranking at WOT. At WOT in crank the PCM turns off all the injectors to clear a flooded engine.

the oil level on the dipstick looks significantly higher and reeks of gas...not milky though i could have sworn the bottle was full not its empty
