Give this man a cookie!

We got it out. A 3/8 bolt wasn't enough and snapped off. We drilled a bunch of 1/8 holes to weaken it and then managed to crack it with a few shots from a chisel.

Looking inside the hole it's clear Tom's right, there is a fair amount of galling to the crank and some nubs I'm going to have to smooth with my Dremel before I can install the engine, no way the T/C will fit as is. What a mess....
