Car won't start

Alright I had a post up about my car being seized. Well I got it back from the tow company cause the police impounded it and was able to run some tests. It isn't seized so I'm back to square one. The damn thing just won't start I dropped the pan looked inside everything looked the way it should and it turned a full two cycles when I did it by hand (I stopped after the two rotations) without binding or even knocking. The problem is the starter just clicks when I try to turn it over. Batterys not dead starter still works. I figure some how the passlock got tripped and the reason it was running rough when it ran and died is cause of the vacuum lines were switched when I pulled the valve cover to check the rockers. Any ideas what the fudge happend to this engine?
 


Alright so it's not passlock or a blown starter fuse or any fuse. The starter just clickes when I try to start the bugger. Some backround on what happened... I replaced the engine and it ran fine for 3 days then it started to tap so I added some oil. Then after about an hour I got a real bad knock so I checked the rockers exhaust and vac lines I did have a vac leak so I tried to drive to the parts store nice and slow but when going up a hill I had to accelerate and then the car stalled, I started it up again and it shut down after about 30 seconds and hasn't started since.
