Remember the starter motor has a massive gear reduction due to the flywheel.

The effort it will take to spin the engine will vary greatly... Factors like the engine temp and if you are talking about spinning it from a dead stop or keeping it rotating would be 2 things right off the bat.

If you want to know how much it will take to rotate the crank you could get a gauge style torque wrench and do some experimentation.
