I was unemployed at the time and over 2.5K for a rebuild was not going to happen...~$250 for a parts drive train, used engine hoist, and fluids on the other hand was doable. Also I couldn't find a shop within an hour of Waukesha that'd touch a hydramatic. It wasn't long after this video went out that I successfully made the swap...Editing all that footage was taking so long it's part of the reason my channel went dormant.
A lot of times a smashed plug and a stuck motor is a rod/rod bearing hit it.
Try putting the starter back in and hitting it with the battery.
Tom why didnt you have the old Transmission rebuilt.
Unless you needed two to get parts to rebuild the old one .
