727 big block trans converter tighten/untighten tricks

I hit the wrench with a hammer
As do I. I try and get the bolt positioned as far as "just appearing" as I can with the next bolt accessible to a wrench. If you are lucky you can tap the wrench and get the bolt cracked loose, then get the wrench on the next bolt up and "ease" the engine around by pulling easily on the wrench, do it it again.

Try a V10 with an 8 bolt converter!!!
