Did you remember to install the sheetmetal plate between the engine and the tranny?
Another cause, (and I have done this one) is the oil drain plug in the convertor is not lined up with the clearance hole in the flexplate. This is only if you have a automatic. If this happens, when you tighten the bolts to the torque convertor, you actually are bending the flexplate around the plug and it makes it wobble.
