The roughness is due to really poor balancing on an engine that is stroked out way too far. Unless you changed something internally, it is still going to be there.
That's probably it. A lot of the audible harshness is gone with the exhaust and intake noise, but you can definitely feel it.

I don't think the 3.7 has been stroked out way too far yet. There's a lot of Z's out there stroked out to 4.2l. Yes they need a cylinder sheath but they are doing it succesfully. I think this engine can safely go to 3.8 or 3.9.

Urethane motor mounts.

'cylinder sheaths' = sleeved cylinder?

Urethane motor mounts will help how?
