sounds like a balance issue. Is it a M6? Flywheel 0 balanced?

LT1s from the factory are internally balanced in the front and externally balanced in the back. That means the stock flywheel/flexplate has a weight on it to balance the crank. Your 383 crank is most likely internally balanced. You need to get this fixed. Just take the flywheel to a machine shop and have it zero balanced.

Like mentioned you flywheel has a balance weight on it. Your going to kill your bearings running it if that is your problem.(which it sounds like)

Default Sounds familar...

I have the stroked crank in my car...I get vibrations from about 2500 on. The only difference is my car is an automatic. Could the flexplate be out of balance?
