Not sure if they have an electronic TCC but if they do you may be able to break it free with a few neutral drops...ya, it sounds like a locked torque converter. Try jacking the rear end up and toss it in gear.
98 should be a 46re, they definitely have electronic OD and TCC. There should be a relay under the hood, or just unplug the entire electrical connector at the transmission and see if it's still locked up.

I'd go for the plug, myself. It takes everything out of the circuit, including wiring faults. It won't make any difference if the clutch is locked up tight, but if it's being commanded to engage the clutch this test will show it.
Try the basic stuff first. Can you get it to stay running if you feather the throttle as soon as you put it in gear? Was the old iac used on the new motor? Do you know if it's getting good fuel pressure? Do you have any codes?
