I was getting a little worried about that, there's also a certain rpm that it will sort of "throb" at around 2k if it's in neutral, almost like the flywheel is out of balance. I'm going to reserve judgement on that one until after I sort stuff out. I'll get the O2 sensor working but a lot of my vacuum lines are new--all the ones that were worn, at least. It's just that one PCV line that broke when the engine was being pulled.

Good intake manifold gaskets fixed that as well as replaced PCV line.
Now my only complaint is that when it's around 1/4" warmed up, it idles kinda strange. It is similar to the way the car used to rock with the bad O2 sensor, but far far milder. Once fully warm, it's fine, and while cold, also fine. More likely just another small vac leak or a bad temp sensor?
Mileage is still only up to ~21.5mpg
