Uh, yeah. If it skips when a valve is open the piston can hit it, and it'll either break the valve or not, but if it doesn't, and it hasn't hit TDC it'll lock up.

Could a timing chain on my 1998 s10 2.2L make it dye out and not start again?

Yes. A fault in the timing chain usually leads to a total loss of the engine as the timing chain synchronises the mechanical operation of the engine. If this goes wrong bits of the inside of the engine will be physically destroyed (the engine will have to be rebuilt). It is MOST IMPORTANT to replace the timing chain on an engine WHEN the manufacturer says it need to be done.

Where is the timing belt on a ford 429 engine?

A Ford 429 engine does not have a timing belt. As a V8 engine, it uses a timing chain that is located on the front of the engine behind the crank pulley, the water pump, and the timing chain cover. If you've little experience working on big block V8s then I'd suggest paying a mechanic (make sure he's in his 50's or he won't know how to do it!) to replace the timing chain.
