Sometimes the rear main seal (rope type) can put a large drag on the crank when the rear main bearing cap is fully torqued.
Try loosening the rear main cap and then rotate the crankshaft.
If this works, make sure the seal & journal have plenty of lubricanting oil on it and re-torque to specs.
Note: most new rebuilds are a little tight at first -> check everything listed above and try to start it.
