What engine?

There are differences in flywheel balance between engines, and even within an engine line depending on date of manufacturer.

A vibration at idle can also be caused by other things, like misfiring, running way too rich, etc.

i put a 302 in it same as the one that was in it only diffrence was the flywheel that was on the motor that came in the truck has a balance weight on it and the new engine the flywheel doesnt have a weight thats why im thinking its the flywheel that needs to be changed because its balanced with the tourc converter im guessing! the motor not misfireing and the motor mounts are fine thats all thats left i just need a second app.
