It has a vibration after new engine!!!

Ok well first off, I seem to be experiancing vibrations from somewhere I have ideas to what it could be. So I need some other ideas.

Ok I just recently dropped a 76 350 block in my car, still has tpi, changed cams, bigger cam, forged pistons, ported and polished heads.

Well when I had to get a flywheel I had to use a flywheel off a 85 305 camaro. Well I don't know if its the Flywheel or not thats causing it. Could it just be the cam is bigger, or something. It has the orginal prom for the 305 that I had in it, and I haven't recieved my new prom yet that I had custom burned to my engines specs, so maybe its just the rough idle or something I really don't know, but the car has a vibration that is fairly noticeable, but doesn't really vibrate bad when at higher RPMs. Any ideas??????If you have an idea drop me a note, thanks guys!!!!!

I would imagine that 305 chip does not like the setup at all and is stumbling /hesitating pretty bad...otherwise just make sure the tranny mounts/driveshaft bolts/u-joints are tight and in good shape....

yeah thats what I'm thinking. Cuz it Idles like ****!!!! other than that it runs good, with minimal vibration. The engine doens't look like its vibrating when its Idling. Neither does the tranny or anything. I guess it could be the lopy cam. It doesn't really get to violently vibrating when I'm accelerating, mostly just when I'm idling. It doesn't always wanna stay running either.
