Sounds to me as if the OP has just an engine with his torque converter still attached.

If your engine is well and truly locked up, and you can't get it to budge with a breaker bar, then I would do what Army said and remove the oil pans and undo the main and rod bearing caps. Take the timing chain off by unbolting the bolt at the center of the cam gear (guess that means you need to remove the valve cover too), and knock the sprocket off with a hammer, (the engine is junk right?) unless you have a some sort of grinder, in which case you could just cut the chain right there at the crank sprocket.

With a bit of pounding and judicious force you should be able to move the rods and pistons up in their bores, remove the main caps and be able to lift the crankshaft out of the block.

Then you can get to the 6 bolts that hold the torque converter on and then remove the flywheel after that.

Really won't be hard to do, I'm sure the OP will see what he needs to do once the pan is off. Just be glad you have the engine out of the car .
