Default 5.4 removal question

I'm in the process of removing a seized 5.4L from a 2004 F150. I'm at the point where I'm removing the torque converter-to-flexplate nuts. Im using a 24" breaker bar and I can't rotate the engine enough to get to the nuts that are out of view. Anyone have experience with this or know of another way to remove the torque converter-to-flexplate nuts?

Depending on what is actually seized up removing the heads may help if it's setting in the top end

First thing that comes to mind is removing the plugs and pouring some Marvel Mystery Oil or some penetrating oil down into the cylinders.
