2 questions
I've got the bellhousing and clutch off the 454 and I have the bolts out of the flywheel. Just pulling on the flywheel with my hands I can't get it to budge.
What is the proper way to get the flywheel off so I don't go and damage it? 2nd question. I'm going to power wash the engine probably tonight. Once it is clean, do I need to do anything like blowing the water off the engine with an air hose or spraying anything with WD40 to displace any water?

 Sheesh.....that thing is giving you so many problems. I still suggest that you just drop it off here, to save you from all the B.S.  Actually, to get the flywheel off, try tapping around it, with a rubber mallet. That's what I did with mine, and it worked great. As far as displacing moisture, after degreasing it, I've just always blown the heck out of them, with compressed air, and a nozzle. Just make sure you hit every nook and cranny. And if all else fails, I'll give you my address TJ

from what i know that tappign trick works well and maybe a li'l oil too, seems to always fix my troubles. regarding the washing, yeah blow it all down REALLY well and Wd40 is what i use when i store a motor, holds up nicely.

If you are having problems with moisture, I'd suggest bringing it west where it's drier. In fact, a little bit of altitude wouldn't hurt either, such as here in Colorado.
 Blowing it out with the air should do the trick, along with the mallet taps.

Thanks for the answers. I just can't figure out why any one of you would want this engine. Maybe after I get all the aftermarket stuff on it, maybe I can understand it being useful for like maybe an expensive anchor, but I just don't get it

An anchor? Nope, definitely not an anchor, not heavy enough and no protruding things to hook on to the floor. Now, might make a good coffee table for that industrial look.

I would also leave one bolt in the flywheel, screwed out half way, then tap it just so you don't loose any toes.
