Mounted on pallet now; headed for engine stand.
No transmission attached.
Tried 18" breaker bar; I'm a fair-sized fellow and when engine started rocking on pallet I backed off. Using socket on nut on front pulley; nothing on flywheel to grab but I could make longer bar that would bolt up.
No accessories; bare engine.

I remember this topic being discussed a few years ago too. I think you're on the right track using penetrating oil and a longer breaker bar. Repeating the process over a period of days, attempting to turn the engine over in both directions may free it up for you. Try using a pipe extension on your breaker bar too, and hitting the end of it with a big hammer.
