He will have to take all the rod caps and mains  off, and  lift  out the 
crank with the converter still attached to 
it..............................MO

Thanks for all the replies. Good tips. But I double checked with the guy and 
it turns out the combo in question is from a 1961, not a 1962! Yikes! So 
that means the transmission is a cast iron TorqueFlite. I seem to recall 
that year cast iron TorqueFlites did not use a flex plate but bolted 
directly to the crankshaft. in other words, there was an extended flange on 
the crankshaft with a torque converter with studs that bolt directly to the 
crankshaft, (no flex plate). Does that change things on how to proceed with 
the motor locked up?

Thanks,
Gary H.
