Thanks guys for the welcome and additional info! I didn't know about the tranny overdrive. I was having so much fun looking over the engine I didn't even look at the tranny other than loading it up! I did get the crank to move a bit tonight. The crank turns smooth about a 1/4 turn now. I am thinking that I might have some surface rust in the cylinders below the pistons that sticks it. I am soaking it some more and will wait a while before I pull the pan off.
