83 Suburban 6.2L 700 Transmission not shifting

Hello, i recetly rebuilt the engine in this truck. Today I started it up for the first time & found it does not want to shift into any gear. The shift linkage apears to be working correctly, all the cables, and electical are hooked up. The transmission was working fine before we removed and reinstalled the engine. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be? The truck is an 83

6.2l Diesel, 4 Wheel Drive, 1/2 ton, with an automatic 700 tran. Thank you, Jade

Did you bolt the converter to the flexplate?

or even worse, did he bolt the converter to the flex plate and then try to mate up engine and transmission ('Don't worry, Mabel, I'll pull it down tight with them thar bell housing bolts')
