I'm trying to pull a 350 SBC without pulling the trannie. I'm trying to rotate the crankshaft in order to unbolt the flexplate, and it isn't budging. All the spark plugs are pulled and the starter. There was water in at least one cylinder, but I have drained it out of the oil pan. I tried rotating the crank using the Harmonic Balancer bolt, but so far have only managed to strip some of the threads in the crankshaft. Any ideas?

Try using a pry bar on the teeth of the flex plate using the transmission bell housing as the fulcrum. If that doesn’t work you’ll have to leave the torque on and pull it that way; replacing the front pump seal of the trans when you go to reinstall. Yea this is going to make one hell of a mess with trans fluid leaking all over the place but once the crank is out of the block you’ll be able to get to the torque bolts. Is this the engine you built for your wagon?
