Unhappy Completed the engine swap and now guess what?

I started Friday morning about 8:30 and had the engine out by 11:30. Started swapping the OMP and lower intake after lunch had to stop about 3:30 since I couldn't swap the flywheel without an aircompressor. Borrowed an aircompressor and did the flywheel Sautrday morning and was ready to start the car about 1:00. The starter was used up. It turned it over but not fast enough. I checked the battery and it was fully charged and ready to go and then checked the starter. I'm getting it rebuilt and hope to start it Thursday afternoon. What little the engine turned over sounded good. There are those of you that know what I mean, when you hear a stock engine turn over and it just doesn't sound right. This engine didn't make that noise. It was a used engine I got for $40 to rebuild but after the ATF treatment It was making more comression. If it runs then I'll have about $65 including a new pilot bearing and seal, anti freeze and some oil. I'm not holding my breath incase its bad but I thought what the hell. It might work.
