That sucks man, I know how you feel. I bought my rx7 with a new motor just put in , it ran like **** ... wouldnt go over 5k rpms and stuttered when i tried to . Well, to make a long story short, I ended up selling the car because it needed a new motor even though it had a brand new one. Good luck with your problems...

A throttle position code could cause the exact problems you are describing. A motor swap is a very detailed job, something simple like a TPS sensor not being installed correctly is highly likely in a job like that. My recomendation is to run it back by the shop that installd the motor.
