Default Are my axles shafts supposed to turn in neutral?(with engine running)

Ok so I just installed a JDM engine along with the original manual transmission. I havnt installed the knuckles yet as Im waiting for some new balljoint boots to come. Anyways I started the engine and when I let off the clutch(gear shifter in neutral) My axle shafts start spinning. Im thinking Im neutral!! Im wondering if I did something wrong when I connected the 2 cables. Every thing feels OK when I shift it to all the gears. Thanks for any help Ray

First thing I would check is the linkage.
