Answer 1

You say you put another engine in it. Which starter did you use. The one off the old engine or the one off the new engine. They might be slightly different. The starter you are now using is not properly engaging with the ring gear on the flywheel.

Answer 2

sounds like it could be your starter not engaging the flywheel.

Answer 3

you might check the starter first
