OK folks, thanks for responding, these are good things to check. i will pull the valve cover and inspect the chain, check the coolant for oil, and check the oil for detritus.
no oil was lost. i checked it as soon as i stopped.
the motor mounts were new at the time of the swap. it's manual so i can rule out TC/trans pump issues.
what should i look at vis-a-vis the alternator and vacuum pump?
