I was going to correct the use of "flywheel" because it is a "flex plate" but I decided to see what GM calls it. GM calls it a "flywheel". They call the "alternator" a "generator".
Technically it is "flex plate" but GM sticks to archaic names.

Did the welds break, causing the transmission to be disconnected from the flexplate, and now the car won't drive?
Ok so this is what happened...
I got the engine in last September/November it was driving perfectly fine then a snow bank "hit" me I I spun a bit got it back on the road and drove home. Then parked, when I went to go drive it later that night I started it and I went to put it in drive and no go. It's been down ever since. That was December 31st.
It was sitting at my old place till about a month ago. Here at my new place I have a lift so that's where it is now.
I really need to get it going again cause I need to get a job and make money, but I can't trust anyone else to help me cause they like to f*** my sh** up. I just really need help and have no one to help me. I would pay someone but like I said no money as of right now. 😔😔🥺🥺😓😓😮‍💨😮‍💨

So it could be something simple, like low on transmission fluid, or the shift linkage has come undone.

So, what are you asking for? Step by step directions? There are too many tiny steps to go into long distance.
If you have a lift it is a fairly easy job to drop the cradle out the bottom. Have a metric toolbox available and use your eyes to see what to disconnect.
I don't know how hitting a snow bank could have anything to do with the trans. Maybe, an axle popped out because it was not installed properly? Maybe, the shift linkage popped off because it was not installed correctly or wore out.
Evidently you have not even looked at the under carriage, you might start there. The first step is always to find out "why".

so when I put t the engine back in last September I didn't put locktite on the flywheel/flexplate and when I hit the snowbank at 60 they snapped or popped out. I will have to take a picture of the bolt but it's covered in aluminum also I didn't know it was that because it wasn't making any noise when I was running the car, like I said it would turn over just no go...

You really should straighten out your timeline of events, this is confusing.

But, you said later, quote: "I didn't put locktite on the flywheel/flexplate and when I hit the snowbank at 60 they snapped or popped out." (How could that be if you drove it home ?)
Quote "I will have to take a picture of the bolt but it's covered in aluminum " Not even sure what this means. I thought all the bolts were "welded" on by your buddy.

First you said you drove home. Now you say "they snapped or popped out" and it's a no go.
Very confusing posts.

How does a snow bank affect the torque converter? Sorry, this sounds really silly.
First it was bad welds now it is no loctite. Why isn't it possible the shift linkage fell off?
If you can't see it how do you know the bolts broke?

FirstGen came back this a.m. Guess they didn't want to clear up their thread since they didn't respond.
Another dead end thread.
