So i have unbolted the timing chain cover and the oil pan, and removed the pulley, now for the hub, the only problem is, it spins whenever i try and loosen it, any ideas?

i think he is referring to the bolt holding the crank hub to the crank snout. If i am right it looks like you have the engine pulled. You will have to find someway of keeping the flywheel/flexplate from rotating while you remove the crank hub. Then like others stated you will need a crank hub remover to remove the hub. GL OP

yes, I did pull the motor, and I am thinking about putting a piece of wood under the crank hub to keep everything from spinning... anyone try this with any results? I need to get this camshaft in today! thanks guys

I think I'm going to try my impact tomorrow, the wrench didn't work, I used a breaker bar and the whole motor and tranny lifted up and it just rotated over the wrench, so i guess impact is the way to go, I'll let you guys know tomorrow, Also just ordered headers and gm syncromesh for the tranny! I hope for some big gains with this setup! thanks for all the help you guys... any new idea are welcome!!!
