first thing to check would be the grounds/earths. if you are sure you bolted them all back on i'd look for a spot in the wiring harness that could have been damaged while installing the new engine. if neither of these are obvious it looks like the old wiring schematic and multi-meter are going to get some quality time.

Do as BUDFAN8 suggests. Check for pinched/broken/bare wires. A larger fuse (higher capacity) will most likely be the cause for more repairs....costly repairs. I know you didn't mention it but NEVER replace a fuse with a larger fuse. Find the faulty wire/s or electrical component/s and make the needed repairs.

You didn't mention if the replacement motor was new or used. If it was used maybe some of the electrical components were damaged/defective. Take a close look for any damage and swap out the part with your old parts if you still have them.
