Can you get it up on jacks and remove an inspection port so you can see the ring gear when the starter is turning? Only other thing I can think of is an electrical connection issue where the solenoid isn't getting power to extend the turning gear to engage the ring gear. You should be able to use some jumpers with the starter out of car to test the starter circuit and check if the solenoid is extending as it should. If it is extending, engaging and turning then only other possibility (however unlikely) is the ring gear has separated from the flywheel. Unlikely yes, but not unheard of.
