If you just replaced the starter, that's where to start. It could be bad or not quite straight or you could have bad teeth in starter ring. In all cases the starter could be jammed with the bendix out. This would lock the engine. Another "remote" possibility would be clutch/throwout bearing area, if something has come loose and is jamming the engine. I bought a Sumbeam Tiger (a small british sportscar that Carroll Shelbey dumped a Ford V-8 into) 25 years ago for parts, the PO said the engine was frozen. When I split the engine/trans, all the balls in the throwout bearing rolled out onto the ground, and the engine turned free.
