I'm going to pull the oil pan this weekend...any other thoughts?

If you think maybe clutch related, watch the crank pulley while pressing the clutch pedal. May or may not find anything, but easy to check while its still somewhat together.

I'm still wondering if the clutch broke and the car was basically in gear. Pull head and trans. That's my rec.

Oil and filter drained clean...no movement in the crank pulley...everything in head looks good when I turn the motor by hand

Was your ebrake on, and rear tires on the ground when you were trying to spin it over? People have fused clutches broken pucks and god knows what else to these drivelines more often than you'd think
