Sounds like a dead-ish battery, or bad connection. Mine used to do that intermittently b/c the battery cable was poorly attached to the battery clamp. I'd jiggle the cable, and it would crank just fine. I finally fixed the problem correctly.
Since you have a new battery - check the battery clamps and make sure they and all the other connections are clean and tight.

Thank you all, it was driving me ,no where after going over the checks again making sure
things were tight
and cables clean . I happened to loosen up the starter to see that it binding although I could turn the motor by the crank bolt. I think that I might have to shim the starter. The transmission was removed since the last start I just hope the flywheel is not bent and the
torque converter were fully seated.
again I really appreciate your help.I’ll give you an update later this frozen morning.
