Raydar,
I am sure that it would be a bad vibration. It really doesn't take much to produce it . This is why when you lose a balance weight on a wheel, it feels like hell, and your wheel is not spinning at a high rpm when compared to the spin of the crankshaft. I was not aware of the issue with external and internal balancing. I found out about it through you and others in here. Thanks for looking out for my best interests. I would hate to have gotten the whole thing back together, just to find that I had to pull the whole engine and drivetrain cradle again!!! I am retired and in no big hurry to get this thing back together. I just want to take my time and do it right. For anyone who has been through this and who might be aware of any pitfalls I should avoid, please speak up. The Fiero configuration is one I have not dealt with before now.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!! Leftovers forever at or house now. It's just my wife and me, and it takes a while to eat what's left.
Later...

You could've edited the duplicate post to state that rather than creating yet another post!

The 400 was (supposed to be) externally balanced, but he ended up using a 350 flex plate. It vibrated like a Home Depot paint shaker.

I heard from a friend that there is a very detailed post in here on how to relocate the starter when replacing the stock 2.8 with the 3.4. I can 't seem to find anything on this. Can someone point me in the right direction. My new engine will arrive on Monday and I plan to get right to work on it.
Thanks...
