Chevy 5.7L mated to 700r4. Engine turns one revolution only

Hi, This is my first post here. I'm trying to figure out why my engine is binding up. The motor and tranny are transplanted into a jeep.

The starter is not hooked up. I can turn the engine by hand approx. one revolution in either directions and then it binds. I can shift the tranny by hand in all gears (Tranny shifter is not hooked up) There are no drive shafts.

This is a 10 year old project that I just now have gotten back to. I just got the TBI wiring harness, but don't want to hook it up untill the engine is free.

Thanks

Just losened the tranny bolts and it came free. I re-torqued the bolts and is still free. Any follow up thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks
