Well I've been told very common issues are engine mounts needing renewal, and (eek!) problems in the block involving big-end and crankshaft bearings. Fortunately I do have a second engine available (from the donor car) but I don't have facilities to lift engines at present, so I'm trying to avoid very major tasks for the time being...
