Engine and trans question

Reinstalled 230 picked off of craigslist with sm420. Got it up and over everything with a few scratches. Lined up and everything connected to drivetrain. Trans yoke moved by hand before going in and now truck won't roll. Any ideas?

Re: Engine and trans question

Tons of ideas come to mind...need a little more info though. Like..wasn't shifting, or wouldn't go into gear, or is the clutch not engaging because of wrong adjustment?

Re: Engine and trans question

Frankslagoon and TJ's Chevy - Thanks for the questions. Been driving me crazy. Trans turned freely after I mounted it to motor and then wouldn't once in the truck. My neighbor helped me and he put a cover on the top of the trans (which I removed to reinstall) and told me he moved the stick. So, it rolls an inch and then stops like it is in gear. I need to reinstall the clutch linkage and am thinking that I will put the stick shift back in and see if it is in gear first. What other ideas should I be thinking?
