How easy to shift with engine off

70 Dart 340 4 speed.

This is an auto to 4 speed conversion. The trans was rebuilt by myself and a friend. The shifter and rods are new from Brewers. I have adjusted the rods per the specs of neutral with the pin in the shifter and adjusting rods.

I got the trans and engine installed last weekend and installed the shifter this weekend, but to me it doesn't shift without effort with the engine off. The engine isn't quite ready to fire yet, so not sure how it will feel when it's spinning....
