I agree with Richard, I think this engine sounds too tight to me. After I rebuilt my 350 I could turn it over easily with a breaker bar if the plugs were out.

You say it is a Goodwrench engine, did you buy it from a Chevy dealer? I would call back and get someone who is in charge and get some solid info from them. I would be concerned too.
