Did you put the mounts on the same side they were before. The L angles are drilled to align the front of the engine. Subtle changes can have big effects.
Use an alignment tool. See what needs to be changed.
You can make a 3 hole or slotted shim to put between the mount and engine if it's minor.
If major changes are needed, redrill the L angles.

New flywheel housings? The latest version does not use spring washer.
