joel,

No problem. Just rotate the engine with a socket and ratchet at the main bolt on the crankshaft pulley. If you have the car raised enough you can get underneath the engine where you can see one of the plugs in the converter come to the bottom while your turning the engine slowly. Be sure to turn the bolt clockwise as your looking at the front of the engine.
