727 TC Installed - Probably Wrong...
Well, had a couple hours to look at it after work. Got the inspection cover off, starter out of the way, unbolted the trans crossmember, then loosened all the bellhousing bolts.
I was able to drop the transmission and back the transmission off the engine 1/4 - 1/2 of an inch.
This finally provided the room for the engine to turn over. It would not budge either way until the transmission was nudged backwards.
My guess at this point is that this means the TC was not seated correctly on the transmission shaft.
Does this mean the transmission pump might be ruined?
Here are a few pictures of it's current state; the TC is still bolted to the flexplate and the engine turns over now.
