Cut about 1/8 inch off the transmission input shaft where it goes into the pilot. It is bottoming out in the crankshaft and binding up.
Bingo! I'll take the bet that this is what it is. Mine did the same thing. You can easily test if this is it by loosening the 4 trans to bellhousing bolts and try shifting it when it's running then. I had to grind off about 1/2 of an inch from the input shaft to get clearance. My crank just wasn't drilled deep enough, or the scatter shield was shorter from block to trans.
It's a quick & simple test. Loosen the four transmission bolts so there's about 1/3 of an inch gap between the trans and the bell housing, start it and and try shifting it into gear. I'll bet you it goes right into gear.
