Most important thing you need right now is a dose of patience, basically same as most of the others suggested. Give it a month then pull the head off if it's not loose by then. Shucks, you could pull the head right today, you may be surprised just how the water got in there in the first place.

You need to be patient, don't tow it because you
can damage the gears or the clutch. Hal

How full did yopu fill the cylinders?? You need to fill them as full as they will let you, till the point it starts to run out of the plug hole and reinstall the plugs. Let it sit a coulpe of days -week. Then pull the plugs and hit the starter off and on, it puts out more then you can with a wench. Did that with an H and it popped loose in just a couple days. I'd walk out to it and hit the starter a couple times and if it didn't turn I'd walk away till the next day. Then one day I got a tranny fluid shower and it has turned over since.

How long have you been waiting on the trans. fluid? That engine is not going to come loose just overnight. Give it some time, and whatever you do, do NOT use the give 'er a tow and pop the clutch trick, you could easily create even more problems.

Might be a good idea to pull the head off and see what's going on inside. It isn't difficult to pull the head and not much expense for gaskets to put it back on. I made the mistake of using force to free an engine of a Super M and bent a rod in the process. It would have been cheaper and easier for me to remove the head to begin with. Just my two cents worth!
