pathfinder motor swap, first timer

[atckilla]

So... frustrating problem. After putting the torque converter into the tranny, dropping the motor in and bolting them together I try to spin the crank by hand (wrench) it won't spin!! If i back the motor off of the tranny it will spin, but when i start to bolt it to the bell housing it gets tougher and tougher until it won't spin anymore. Its in neutral also so im super confused I'm gonna pull it out again on tuesday to see whats going on, but what do you guys think could be the issue?

Sorry, didn't see your previous problem, but I'm not sure I could have helped...

 

Congrats on getting it all back together and it working right. You know what I mean...

 

We'll be expecting those pictures...
