Yeah, I put my stock torque converter back in recently and when I tried to start the car, it had a hard time turning over and made some friction sounds when it was turning. So I shut the car off right away and tried to crank the engine by hand, it didnt budge. The transmission was flush with the engine, everything was connected... So this morning I went to take the tranny off again to see what was wrong and I couldnt find anything. The engine would not turn until the transmission was unbolted from the engine and moved back 1/2 an inch or so.

I'm not really sure what to do. Should I just go and put everything together very carefully and hope for the best? Any ideas?

Make sure the torque converter was fully engaged. I haven't done a late model change but the older ones (C-4, etc.) had three engagements, the third being very subtle.
