Is the rev counter / speedo / temp / fuel gauges working?
Did you remove the clocks as part of the engine change at all?

on the back of the clocks are two multi connectors. Is it possible one of them has been dislodged? Perhaps from the removal of the speedo cable?
Long shot, but its all I can think of.

Is your drivers side rear sidelight / brake light out? If so its a fuse.
