Can't help you on that model, but I know Clevelands ha

You din't put the new flex plate on backwards did you?
A mate of mine did this with a 302W and the engine locked solid when he got it all back together.

The torque convertor slips into the tranny bellhousing, rotate and push it in, you should feel it slot back about 3 times on the shaft and then it is home all the way. I usually support the convertor on the centre knob to hold it square when pushing it in

Fly wheel = manual flexplate = auto usually.
