Subject:New engine, but AT will not engage

Prior to installing my rebuilt engine, my tranny worked fine.  Now, that it
is installed, my AT does nothing.not so much as a clunk.  Now when i worked
on the motor, I did take the torque converter off, it did leak some fluid
out.  But i did reinstall and put the 3 bolts to hold it in place. It spins
with the motor.  I broke the motor in and bled the coolant in the driveway,
adjusted valves, CO mix, etc., and then i was going to road test.  But it
would not go.

I checked fluid, seems OVER FILLED now.  what gives?  I added no
fluid.........
