i jacked with it for 30 minutes and gave up. had the hood off, truck in the air, engine standing straight up...firewall wouldnt let it happen. sooooo i pulled the engine apart from the transmission while leaving the converter attached to the flex plate. im guna buy me an air hammer tonight to see if i can get that stripped converter bolt to break loose with some harsh persuasion.

Look into the trans at the input shaft and see if you can see the two pump teeth sticking out. Use a screw driver and try and turn them. Hoepfully they dont twist. If they look good all you can do is drive it and hope it doesnt break. On my first trans swap I had a ahrd time seating the converter and ended up cracking the pump. 250 miles later it left me stranded on the side of the road.
