Scout 80 1964: Engine stuck to Transmission

Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of removing the motor out of my 1964 Scout so it can be rebuilt. I have everything disconnected from the motor. All the bell housing bolts are removed and I also removed the starter. Motor mounts are off and it is lifted. For the past few days I have been moving it in every direction and prying for hours. I've gotten the motor about 2 inches off the transmission. I cannot move it any farther out then this. I am unsure of where to go from here and am wondering if I am missing anything. Are there any bolts on the torque converter? The crank spins with a lot of force and makes a grinding noise. I am unable to get pictures at the moment but will get some up here tomorrow morning. Thank you to any who can help.
 
If you are lifting the engine and the transmission is fixedn it will jam the input shaft in the clutch disk. Try to lower the engine to neutralize any binding, then pull them apart.
The only other thing I can imagine is that the input shaft is somehow frozen/locked to the clutch disk.
the 64 should have a lower clutch cover, remove it and remove the pressure plate from the flywheel. Remove the clutch fork too. should come apart then
