Can't start my 408!

Actually, it is lined up with the intake manifold bolt above cylinder #1, as per my build manuals. I could pull out the oil drive gear and have it face the cylinder, as that would be about a tooths worth of rotation. See the below pic.

I can try it, if you think this might be the problem...
