Too Tight?

Too Tight?
I am getting ready to fire up my 300 rebuild. Even though I checked clearances during assembly, it seems a bit hard to turn over using a breaker bar on the crank pulley.
Does anyone have a ballpark idea of how many foot pounds of torque would be required to turn over a stock rebuild without plugs installed?
Thanks.,...jack

I think I did, but I don't remember. It was a year ago. It is bored .020. If it is too tight, that is probably the problem. The crank and cam spin freely without pistons. I just don't how tight is too tight. Thanks for your reply.,...jack

With the later thin metric rings on hypereutectic pistons significantly less.
