Now the radio buzzes extremely loud, can barely hear any audio, seems worse in front right channel, no button pushing or mode changes affects buzz in any way. This is the Infinity radio, cassette, cd. Is this a known problem with this system or can I expect another smashed wire somewhere? I give the dealer credit for fessing up but I think they stood back and threw the new block in from a few feet away...
Thanks for any help!

Jeff--Did it buzz immediately after the engine swap or did it just show up recently? At any rate I would go over the engine compartment and firewall with a finetooth comb. Look for any broken wires and loose ones, particularly ground wires and straps. If it was anything to do with the antenna, it would work OK with a cassette or CD. You might have to get under it to see in back of the engine. I would think if a choke was missing, it would have been noisey the day you got the car back. Good hunting.
