we hooked up everything that was needed to make the engine start, the electrical connectors and transmission with starter, started literally first try with no problems and was run for about 5 minutes before i shut it off, after i put the driveshafts and transfer case in so it could drive, the starter was just clicking, so i jumped the battery and still the same thing, went and checked the starter through the inspection port when someone switch the key and it literally was hitting the flywheel but was not spinning it at all, removed it and grounded it and it was spinning just fine so i tried removing spark plugs and turning it over with a breaker bar and nothing, couldn’t make it turn, it spun and tan fine with no transfer case and driveshafts, could it have something to do with that? and it had 70 pounds of oil pressure on start up so and i primed it before it was put in and with the starter. i have no doubts about the lubrication of the parts in the engine. just confused here i’m am going to remove the belt and see if an accessory seized. i’m just very confused
