After you remove your battery and charge it, how many volts does it show?

You need to find out if the battery is not able to charge completely OR if the charging system is not charging properly.  Without some basic testing we are just guessing.

Ah...cables may look fine but may have electrical problems. Do you have a multimeter? You changed a whole engine and battery and you still have the same problem. Guess where the problem isn't! Or at least both engines and batteries have the same problem! Thas' why work smart, not hard! Now, got a meter?
