Did the new engine have any vibrations while driving?

I will ask which flexplate he used. I do not believe I drove the car over 200 miles before this problem occurred. When I first started driving it I noticed no vibrations, but I wasn't listening for them either. It was driving smoothly. I didn't shift from D4 to D3, D2, D1, etc, didn't drive fast, or push the car because I knew it was a new installation and I didn't want to risk messing anything up. Thanks for the feedback.
