No James, The starter is out! The head is off! That thing should spin like a top!
Solutions Tried
Oil in Cylinders, motor oil, MMO, WD40, fuel oil.
Attempted to turn engine with 3/4 drive, 1 3/8 socket and 3/4" breaker bar with 2' pipe. I'm afraid of breaking the crankshaft bolt or the crank it's self.
Put it in 3rd gear and , with wheels jacked up, tried to turn the engine through the drive line.
Made an Ash block to fit the cylinder and tried to move each piston with it and a 4 lb hammer.
Needless to say, but I don't want to damage this new engine.

Try to remove the starter and if you can't get it out of the bellhousing easily, put the car in 3rd and roll it backwards or just rock it mightily till the bendix releases. Been there, done that.
