Dereck Bell once said of the Mirage Cosworth that it felt like it was going to blow up every lap because of the vibration.

That's true. The DFV (especially the bigger version) had all sorts of vibration problems at Le Mans for several years, though it did manage to score a couple of wins.
Ferrari didn't have too much luck with their 'GP-engined' 312P in 1973 either...
