Blew up my 440 with automatic trans and.....

? Did I not ask this correctly? In order to get the engine out of car I need to turn the engine so I can unbolt the flex plate from the torque converter, then the trans from the engine. It was an easy question and I was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.
I should have posted it over at Moparts for additional stupid replies.
Yes back in 1974 , brand new 440 , parked it and next day it would not turn over , revolt no turn , breaker bar no turn , pulled out engine and trans together
