The motor is out. Converter bolts are usually taken out through the starter hole. But my motor won't turn over even with a long pipe
ok, with the pic above, how are you accessing the plate well enough to cut the plate from each bolt?

That's what I thought just wasn't sure why they were back on?
Was it just the one cylinder that looked like that? Missing anything, lifter, pushrod? Do you have all the gears under the front cover separated so one isn't locking up another?
That pic was before I took the heads off. I have the cam gear off. Number 7 is piston that's cracked. Number 8 had the broken lifter. Pretty much every pushrod is bent. And hole in block is between 5 and 7
I feel like nobody's actually reading anything except the last post and agreeing with them. I'm asking for help on ways I can get the converter off. After that's off I can get the flywheel off, upper oil pan off and then take apart the motor like normal in a sense. The big kicker is the motor won't turn over what so ever
Torch the ring gear and flange off, then sawzall the converter bolt heads off. Best I can think of
Ring gear is the big gear on the flex plate. A plasma cutter following the flex plate just below the ring gear ran all the way around would be the easiest way, then you should be able to see the converter bolts. You may even be able to unbolt them with a wrench.
Try disconnecting the rods from the crank then you should be able to roll it over to get your converter off...
Got number 7 piston out the top and also got a chunk out that was pushing on the cam. Motor still won't turn over no more than a 1/4 turn. The cam is broken in two between 5 and 7
