erik,

IMO chances are extremely slim that the source is in the "major hard parts".

- check throttle lever alignment (firewall, engine side) in case there is extra vibration reaching you that way

- check the motor mounts- 140 ones seem to help reduce vibration on my car but raise engine (see above)

- meticulously check ignition and fuel flow. eg. my 544 had mismatched needles for at least several years when my dad had it

- acessories- eg. alt conversion vibrating was a problem in my case

- greater the power/displacement, the greater the vibration. There is no harmonic dampener, and no balance shafts. What you feel may be normal. There is a certain threshold at which just a few % more vibration over stock begins to pass through to you as a major increase.
