560SEC vibration on take off

Well, after a lot of work to the SEC (upper engine rebuild) it is running really, really well, except that at times I feel a vibration (feels like drive train) when accelerating from a dead-stop. It occurs with a moderate to heavy acceleration and usually around 10-15 mph, and then gone. It doesn't always occur, and is very subtle. Any ideas on what might cause this?

BTW, on the upper engine rebuild, I was really surprised at the good condition of the engine components with 175,000 miles on them. My oil leaks were coming from head gaskets that were basically coming apart after so many years of use. My engine is now dry, dry dry and is not burning any measurable amount of oil. Yeah! And with all the new rubber/plastic "stuff" the drivability is such an improvement. I think we just fixed a lot of small issues that as a whole make me remember why I like this car so much!
