Does anyone know a good mechanic I could bring my challenger to in the Saint Louis, Missouri area? I've done what I can with it, and I'm throwing in the towl. I need a pro. Thought I might ask before I do my own research.
And yes I've tried

He did a rebuild 3 years ago and now that the trans is hooked up, it won't turn over . . Even with the plugs out? I'm curious to see the outcome.

Ya, I rebuilt the enging and the last thing I did was bolt the flex plate to the torque converter, and now it won't turn. Either way, with a cheater bar, plugs out, & penetrating oil in the pistons. I don't have a lift, so into the shop she goes.

I can't get to all of the bolts without being able to turn the engine. I'd guess they are going to have to remove the drive shaft and then unbolt the transmission and slide it back. The trans should be able to come off the torque converter leaving it hanging on to the flex plate, right? I hope.
