Tough to figure out, but I would go with a bad ground to the instrument cluster. You must have disturbed the ground when you did the engine swap. Check all your wiring harness connections to be sure they are plugged in and that none of the individual wires are damaged.
There's something else you can check out. It looks like the main wire for the instrument cluster is pink and goes to the fuse block in the engine compartment. It wouldn't hurt to replace that fuse and see if it solves the problem.
And finally, some websites claim that removing both of the battery cables for 30 minutes or so will reset the computer, which may get the gauges to work again. That's a real longshot, but if all else fails, try it
