Did you check for a broken wire or short near the case itself?  I'm still
thinkin' it might be a stator/rotor problem (or the wiring associated with
same) in the 'new' engine.  You've got a good TCI to back up the testing, at
least by your account of the one from the former engine.

I'm getting power to the coils. The red wire on each coil shows voltage when
I
turn on the key. What would be the next troubleshooting step?
