Check shifter cable linkage under center console and behind driver side wheel. Make sure they're all connected securely.

Try bleeding the clutch first, it can be hard to get the shifter into gear if it's stuck in a certain spot and the vehicle isn't moving, I doubt you changed anything relevant just by swapping the engine. You did bolt the cables back down properly right?
