L92 won't turn by hand...help
So as I have don't many engine swap before this is a first for me
Bought a 6.2
Added ls7 lifters new oil pump and pan
Engine would spin freely with heads off in stand
I installed heads etc
Today as I go to bolt up the converter man the engine won't budge at all.
Afraid to break the flywheel or even the crank bolt
Any ideas ?

Lack of experience can be a formula for disaster. A CARDINAL RULE: ALWAYS manually turn the crank after EVERY step is completed(This only take a minute because the rachet is already sitting right there). This is extremely important, but none of the repair manuals mention it and that includes the pro services such as Alldata and Mitchell. If you do this ONE extra step you'll save yourself a lot of headaches because you catch the problem right away instead of after a bunch of other stuff has been installed as it appears to have happened in this case. You need to turn a minimum of 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation.
