What are the symptoms of a spun bearing either then grinding/squealing?

I havent checked the flex plate yet. that would require removing the transmission.

When you say front pump? Do you mean the water pump? I disconnected the belt from the motor and turned it over to the same sounds.

When I say front pump, I mean transmission pump. The pump on the 700R4 has small tabs inserted into a disc that rotatates in an oblong fashion. If the transmission wasn't assembled properly, clearances checked, etc... You can have metal on metal, sqealing etc... If the torque converter wasn't seated properly, and the bellhousing bolted down, you can actually damage the pump, and torque convertor.

You stated that the flex plate wasn't bolted up initially, which is why I'm leaning to the transmission side of things.

Unfortunately, the only way to know is to start pulling things apart.
