Gents:

Need some advice:  I'm getting ready to pull the 361 out of my '62 Sport 
Fury.  I'm trying to turn the motor over by hand, so I can remove the 
flexplate bolts.  BUT, I can't get it to budge.  A few months ago, the 
motor got overheated and wouldn't run anymore (probably seized up?)  I 
squirted some penetrant down into the cylinders, no luck.  I'm using a 
1/2" drive long-handled socket wrench (about 18" long).  I don't have an 
impact wrench.

Any advice on how to turn this dude over?  Do I need a really long 
breaker bar?  If I remove the heads, is there a way to turn it from the 
top, or at least lube it up some more?  Thanks!

Wade
