See OP post #6.
It sounds like it was starting fine on the starter and small battery cables recently. He has also tried another known good starter. If I interpret the info he has provided correctly, I think we can rule out improper bearing adjustment, the small cables, or a bad starter.
Also, he reports "easy to turn with the crank with the spark plugs out". And that he cleaned the starter switch and it looks good. (post #34)
I guess I'd rule out any sort of mechanical binding (clutch dragging, water pump/generator dragging, etc) with this info.
He might try removing the starter switch and touching the - end of the battery cable there just to make sure that even though the switch "looks" good that it actually is good.
High timing is the only other thing I can think of at this point
