locked up

Ok my 69 f100 ranger 360, C6 locked up while I was doing about 20 mph. I found a 360 rebuilt, performer plus cam, 4 barrel 390 intake, Holley 600cfm double pumper, etc. for $850 plus a 68 and a 69 f100 with more extra parts than I have room for. I removed the engine and installed the rebuilt one. Upon inspection of the flywheel I found that it had ripped the center out of it. I had a new one in the parts I got with the engine. started the new engine after installation. Runs great and sounds real mean. I put it in gear to back it up and found that none of the gears would engage. No noise, all attachments to the tranny are connected, so I am installing one of the other C6's into the truck tonight. The wheels locked up when I thought the engine had ( the old engine seems to turnover fine now when out of the truck) . how bad did I missdiagnose my original problem. What else should I check?

just me but before i pulled a motor and transmission i would disconect the drive shaft jack the *** end up and see if the rear wheels turn. if they dont it could be the rear end and not the tranny.

forgot to say that the truck would roll after the original "lockup" but yes I did jump to a conclusion. I'm going to end up with a better truck but ,man, it's a lot of work. While I was under the truck I found some random bolts etc. missing this gave me the chance to replace them. (like 2 missing on the tranny rear crossmember and a few missing on the bellhousing)
