Brad---If your clutch won't hold the engine from turning with the tranny
in gear, and the brake on, nor have an impact wrench, there are a couple
other ways to keep the crankshaft from turning. 
You can use a flywheel ring gear lock, available from any major auto
parts house, OR use a variant of the old "rope trick". This time you
feed rope into a spark plug hole* and catch a piston coming back up as
you turn the fan extension bolt c.c.w. 

*You will want to select a piston that has "just fired" so that both of
its valves would be closed. (Compare #1 on the timing pulley TDC to #1
rotor position)
