I would check for voltage at the starter from the battery and from the key switch via the neutral safety switch.
If there is no voltage at the starter from the battery check the fuseable link wires and the ground connections.

If you can hear the starter engage the flywheel but the engine does not turn over the next step would be ruling out physical seizing of the motor. The most common approach is to remove the accessory belt(s) then turn the engine manually by rotating the crankshaft pulley with an appropriate size socket and breaker bar. If you are unable to turn the crankshaft the motor is seized, in most cases this means your into an overhaul or replacement motor. In some cases this can be caused by what is referred to as hydra-locking, in this case the engine can be saved easily without any damage if handled correctly.

SOURCE: 2004 ford freestar 4.2l Not charging, new alternator tested and working new battery.
Hotrod, Recheck,clean and tighten all connections. If you say you had new alternator tested and is working OK, the new battery must be defective. With the van running, use a DVO meter and check the battery, if it shows above 14 volts then the alternator is OK, a good battery should show 12.4, that leaves either a faulty battery not holding a charge or you have a parasitic draw(something draining battery). Which would have to be diagnosed by a good Tech.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck
