Hi Rob harshness when driving or when stationary out of gear. when driving it does seem to come in at around 70 km/hr but i think this because it is some what disguised due motion.
I will try to get onto those checks soon. Cheers.

Thanks for replies very helpful.Yes Ken i replaced front engine mount.I will check compression and the flywheel.Fuel and ignition are ok.
When engine increases in rpm you can feel the harshness through the car. I will check these items and let you know. Thanks again.

Hi everyone, i have a 1959 FC with factory 132 6 cyl and it has this harsh vibration as revs increase. I have replaced engine mounts and harmonic balancer with 2nd hand unit (better condition than original one), have removed front exhaust pipe clamp to engine. I have also disconnected drive belt to eliminate water pump and generator- any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

Hi eveyone and all Merry Christmas,Enjoy your day and all the best. Keep cruising in your fe and fc's  :) Bryan fom Christchurch, New Zealand.
