If its an auto trans... the torque converter is not fully seated. Also if the 97 came out of a manual trans, the pilot bearing spacer might still be in place.
If its a manual, sounds like maybe the clutch isn't aligned with the pilot bearing.

Do you have the two alignment bushings, on the back of the block, in their proper places?
Got a third one stuck in the transmission?

This. Loosen the blots and jiggle the torque converter to make sure it goes into the crank.
Two in the tranny and one in the block or two total?

I had 1 in the block that lined up with 1 of the 2 in the tranny so removed the one from the block

Make sure that aluminum plate between the transmission and engine isn't caught on something.
