If there is a flywheel the engine is from a manual car and not an automatic IIRC

I talked to Honda master mechanic he said they have differant torque converters and talked to a guy outta Hampton that has basiclly you would say a Honda shop. 2 Differant stories.

Did you engage the torque converter in the tranny before installing? Spinning the converter slowly clockwise you should get 3 drops total this engages the converter onto the splines and the last drop engages the converter to the front pump. This will cause the tranny to be jamming against the converter not allowing it to spin. Also make sure you removed the pilot bearing if the previous tranny attached was a manual.

The trans is auto i had it on my d15b7. that is why I'm wondering how the hell the torque converter is it not fitting. The tranny was perfectly fine before the piston rod came through the block. Another problem i noticed is when it is correctly seated it is further in then bell housing but after 3 drops it is flush with the bell housing. I also notice when I'm spining it to mke it seat further down it is scrapping the bell housing. So it's either to big or it is seated but can't figure out why you can't turn the flywheel when tranny is fully connected to engine.

is the new motor locked up??

can you turn it without the tranny installed??

so is the tranny and convertor the original one that was in your car???

did you put your flexplate off your old motor on it???

did you check that the flexplate was bolted on correctly...if you put it on backwards it will stick out further ...making the convertor hit the flexplate
