more info plz
your engine is locked? as in rusted up? if not, have you taken out the spark plugs to relieve the compression?
if your engine is dead, locked up, then why are you taking out the auto tranny and not the whole thing?

Your crank shaft bearing have welded themselves to the crank shaft. Drop the oil pan and start by trying to take the bearing caps and main caps off. If u cant get them loose, u may need to hammer them loose or use a acytlene torch and cut the crank shaft off from the flywheel. Ur engine is trashed anyways just hack it loose. 90% of the time engines seize at the crank.

He's tlking about the NEW engine...not the old engine.
OP if the engine was sitting for a long time it might have just seized up a bit. Do what Badger said and report back.
I also seen to remember a thread on here or somewhere else where someone used some sort of oil in the block of a seized engine (Marvel Mystery maybe?), let it sit for about a day, and the engine unseized. Not really sure if it was on this site or somewhere else.....
