I'd really wish that I would grow some balls and drop in a Chevy motor into my POS Ford so I could get some HP outta her

Youll need more than a 20 sec burst of penetrant. Grab a funnel and fill 'er up. Use some care with using the crank pulley bolt to unstuck an engine, rounding that one off is about the last thing you want to do at this point.

Again, you can pretty safely run it down a hill or pull it with a truck and let the clutch up to try and turn it that way.

Fill the cylinders with penetrating oil. Let it sit for a day or two. With the plugs out, tow it up to about 35 mph, put it in 1st gear and dump the clutch. Keep pulling until you smell clutch burning.

If you can get the valve-cover off and change the oil-filter (I believe you stated it was an I6 engine), drain the engine oil out and pour slowly ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) over the whole top (all 4 litres or 1 gallon) till the oil-pan is "full".

Take another container of ATF and funnel it into each cylinder through the spark-plug holes till it pours out. Cap with a cork.

Wait 1 week.

Attempt to turn the crank by hand (12" to 16" breaker bar). If no turn - wait another week. Only attempt once a week (say on a Saturday morning) to turn the crank.

The cork is to allow pressure to blow-off without letting debris (bugs, moisture, etc) in while waiting for the ATF to do its job.

Alternative to ATF is diesel fuel.

Good luck on this and let us know.

Removeing the oil filter wont work, it has the "can" style one with the replaceable filter insert.
Oil filter

If you're going to pull it or push it down a hill, don't dump the clutch in first, there's too much resistance.

Do it in 4th, you'll have more mechanical advantage.

All I can see with the push and dump method is parts flying everywhere or a fried clutch.
