Default Tricks for removing crank pulley?

Stroked 351w in car.

With my McLeod bellhousing, I don't have an access door to prevent the flywheel from turning. I suppose I could remove the starter but I'm not too keen on cramming a screwdriver in there in hopes that it will actually keep the rotating mass from, urghhh....rotating. Plus with my luck I'll snap a tooth off the ring gear.

Is this a two man job (i.e. one grips the crank pulley from above while the other cranks on the ratchet from below), or should I procur an impact wrench and hit it with that? I think I have just enough room to work with one.

I also sprayed the lone bolt with a bunch of PB Blaster in hopes that some of the oil worked its way behind the bolt head.

Thanks for any advice!
