What finally worked for me was to warm up the engine, take out the drain plug, take off the thermostat, get an air hose with one of those small conical rubber ends on it so you can get a good seal in the drain plug hole and give a good blast of air into the block alternating the thermostat opening and the drain plug until it breaks loose. Kind of rocking the crud plug. Get it flowing, then use the Muriatic acid to clean things out.
