well i found out today my motor is not lockedup its fine but i need a cluch and presure plate lol
what had hapned is that bolt lodged inbetwen the presure plate and the bellhousing thus locking everything up....
now for a new presure plate clutch and new hoses for everything then the motor goes back in with a new radiator...

Ouch!!! FYI I would never just secure the hoist's hook to the single eylet on the motor. That eylet is secured with one bolt though t small securing tab on these motors. If it were to break at the motor youd loose your motor and damage other things.
Also since you have the motor out you should consider cleaning the grime off. Doing so will allow you to view possible leaks. That and make for a great before and after photos!!!
