1978 ford Engine frozen - can you break it loose by pulling w an automatic transmission?
it is pretty hard to turn over an engine by towing if it is auto transmission you can try to break it loose, using right size soket and long breaker bar on the big bolt in the centre of the harmonic balancer on front of engine you dont say if this sngine is gas or diesel if it is gas, usually only way it will be locked,(frozen) is if the bearings are shot or something in engine is broken and locking it up if diesel engine, it can get a compression lock. this will usually free itself if just left alone, or using aforementioned method, turn engine over in the opposite direction of a running engine usually if a diesel is locked up by compression lock, it is caused by coolant getting into combustion chamber if this is the problem, check for a bad head gasket
