I had a similar problem with my motor. After the first one blew out because the old radiator cracked and leaked another one was put in. Possible similiar to what you did. A 50K motor from Japan. Anyhow after the motor swap the car never ran quite the same. It bogged and wanted to die like how you described when I would step on the gas initially. Accelerating was a little messy at times...but now it's much better. These are the things I did in the order I did them to improve it. #1 Intake helped a bit. Gave the engine more free air...or whatever it could suck in. #2 Seafoam. I seafoamed the engine out and that helped the most. It's really easy to use and do. Beware a lot of smoke. #3 New cat and new muffler. The old exhaust system was bad. This is my most recent fix and I noticed the throttle response now is a lot better. It doesn't bog and want to die at the intersections or in front of my house anymore.
