Any tricks out there for this? I am going to get an impact tomorrow and try that, but I've removed plenty and never had one this tight!

Any good ideas on how to hold the engine from turning over other than wedging a nail bar in the teeth on the convertor as its a bear to hold? Should I try more heat?

I wouldn't do anything w the flywheel teeth live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
