Seized Engine removal

Is it possible to remove the engine out of an 04 with the torque converter still attached? Engine is seized.

Yes. Just be extra cautious removing, pull straight out for at least three inches...to help prevent damaging trans pump and seal. Which, you should replace seal anyway.
