Did you resurface the flywheel prior to installation? It might be caused by a warped flywheel. Did you have the problem before the swap?

Oil on the flywheel or clutch can cause vibrations like you describe.
Broken springs in the clutch hub can cause some vibration too.
You may want to check the fit of the slip yoke and the condition of the U-joints.
