Mods are gonna be mad that you posted twice, they'll be here soon to close one of these. Stick with this one. For the sake of that most definitely happening, I'll post what I said in the other one here as well:

If what you say is true, then I would assume you forgot to reinstall the battery ground or didn't tighten it. Assuming you took it off to do the job, that is..

Otherwise it's likely an issue with the install. It shouldn't be easy to spin with a socket and ratchet, it should have compression phases and become easy or hard depending on where it is. The starter could be spinning it so fast because you lack compression that it sounds like it's barely moving.

sounds like the ground strap to the engine is loose or not making a good connection.
