I am sorry, read it and still my brain did not register...seized. I was thinking dead - ceased. I have done a few of these and have always got the top two bellhousing bolts from underneath the truck, never from under the hood, its possible, but you'll be there for a long time doing it that way. As for the seized engine, hunterpaul is the method I use, only if there is access. To pull the pan, you have to remove the front differential on these. On the other hand, you could remove the trans(back it out) and leave the convertor bolted on. Personally, I'd pull the diff and go that way, as it would be a lot lighter and easier to manuver the engine out, plus you minimize the chance of damaging the transmission convertor bearing.
