Hey, Mike!
Before you give up on getting the engine unstuck, try going in both directions with the breaker bar. I've gotten a couple of engines started which people couldn't turn and I did it by going in both directions and managing to get them loose. One was a 400 locked up due to a busted piston. Probably should have just torn it down, but it was a fresh rebuild and the owner wanted to make it run. It did, but it shouldn't have.
You shouldn't have those issues with your engine, but you should try to break it loose before you tear it down. As I said, rocking can do wonders.
Glad you made it home, safe and sound.
