I agree with the above post. I did the same thing to my 97 5.2. I went in toooooooo deeep of water. The starter just clicked. The worst thing to do is start it up. Pull the plugs out (check oil too, if it grey or just plain watery....change it) and turn the engine over for a little bit 5sec or so, then do it again, after a few times(I have injection so a lot of it was gas, took 4 times), the water should be gone. Check the wiring as mentioned above and go from there. My still runs without a problem (except the TPS needs changing).
Good Luck

YUP, do what they say, plugs out and whirl it over. If it is seized, soak all cylinders with tranny fluid over night and try it again the next day. THEN change the oil before running it.
Dry that puppy out.

To detail your engine, most people reccomend covering certain things up with plastic bags, but I detail 4 or 5 a day at work and I just soak the whole thing down with GP, scrub, and hose it everywhere. Then, I just take an air hose to everything and make sure I get it REAL dry...starts up every time.
