Is it possible that the mounts are what is different?  but that doesn't
explain why it was supposed to be a drop in swap?  How about this... is it
possible you have bad motor mounts (or simply some play in said mounts) and
they have allowed the motor to slide rearwards around an inch which is the
cause for your current situation regarding swapping transmissions?
