Not normal at all, there could be a number of issues. Crank not turned round, not to size, or rods could be out of round. An assembled short block, sm/blk should turn over at about 20lbs torque with all new bearings, rear main seal and rings. in fact the last b/blk i assembled turned over at 20lb or less.
