Used the heat gun on it for a couple of minutes, then went through almost an entire can of spray. Still cannot break it loose. Also tried to tighten it, and that also did nothing.
I'm going to try it again with the heat gun. Maybe I need to keep it on there for a few more minutes. And I'll keep the spray on there for a while longer too. I'm aiming from the top, and with the cross-member in the way, it's not the optimal angle to get to the entire bolt. Anyway...if this still doesn't work, I'll put the intake back on and let it heat up that way.

With Rob's (LBPS2K06) help, we broke the crank bolt loose in 5-10 minutes!
We put a 10"-12" bar on the crank bolt removal tool, and rested it against a rigid structure. The breaker bar we used on the bolt was probably around 48", and we used an extension piece so the bar would end up between the radiator fan and the cross-member frame. A couple of jolts later, the bolt was free.
Thanks again, Rob!
