Do you mean stationary in neutral? Carbureted hotrod engines generally have some ragged metering transitions without a load on them.
Do you feel the same thing under load when moving?

If you have a fairly radical cam it probably won't run right with the timing as retarded as you indicate.

A little more info on your cam, intake, carburetor, compression ratio, and timing curve would be helpful in providing useful suggestions.
Yes i meant stationary, not idle, sorry. The vibration feels the same whether the car moves or not. The engine has a Comp Cam roller camshaft, Edelbrock intake, Holley 650 carburetor, i believe a 9.0 compression ratio. It is a 302 stroked to 347 with an Eagle kit.
