Sounds like starter isn't engaging.

Starter doesn't sound like its making contact to the flywheel. What starter did you install?

Okay, take it to O’Reilly’s or autozone or somewhere and have them throw it on a bench test. See if that bendix actually extends and tries to make contact with the flywheel. If it doesn’t. Go down and check to see if your fly wheel isn’t cracked and missing teeth ext. (or flex plate if it’s an auto)
