seized 5.7 swap

I have a 2005 1500 4wd with seized 5.7. How do I separate trans./engine if I can't rotate engine to get at drive plate bolts?

Pull the torque converter with the engine.

^^This. It will require some extra wiggling and work getting it forward enough to completely disengage the TC from the trans but it is doable.
