I still laugh when I think about the time my brother was cussing at a bolt and the tranny landed on his chest. The pain in his eyes
that happend to me a few times that day. that aod started getting heavy after about the first half hour
Make sure you don't break the bolt off the crank. It would take a lot of force but it could happen.

When you put the tranny in, you did get the torque converter studs lined up with the flexplate right? The guy I have working for me forgot that the torque convert on a Ford has studs. He had just put in a couple of GM trannys which use bolts though the flexplate. After realizing what he had done, he took the bellhousing bolts back out and slid the tranny back. I turned the crank by the dampener bolt while he held the converter still. Then the studs lined up and the motor turned freeley when the tranny was bolted back up.
Hope this helps,
