Hi,
There are two fusible links between the battery and the starter motor. It is fusible link 24 in the engine compartment relay box. If you haven't, check it first. Also, there are two fusible links on the battery that are required for the starter to work.
Next, there is a 10-amp fuse in the interior fuse box that is what energizes the starter relay to start the engine. Check that too. In addition to checking the fuses, make sure there is power to and from them. Here is a link that explains how that is done. Note: It is important to check for power at the fuse regardless of its condition. Especially on this fuse.

Next is the starter relay. I don't feel that would have been damaged, but here is a link explaining how to test one.

I attached the starter circuit wiring schematic below, so you have a reference.
Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
See pics below. Note: the wiring schematic was one page. I had to cut it in half to make it readable for you. Also, just for a test, will it start in neutral?
