What type of mounts are you using on motor? Trans? Solid mounts? Need more info on your current setup.

have heard people have this problem when they run a solid tranny mount, or only a front plate with no mid plate and solid tranny mount, or sometimes no mid plate and lots of hp

i have a front plate and a urathane trans mount

[Drtmod5]

I don't think that's enough. Too much hanging weight between the two mounting spots. You need a midplate, but don't go solid on the trans. Big trouble there! JMO

ok thank you very much i give it a try

Did you do anything to the driveshaft when you swapped rear ends? If not, the driveshaft is too long...

we had to build a drive shaft it has i think like 3/4 of a inch play

Who did the work on the driveshaft and was it balanced?

[s10Travis]

my welder/fabracator built the drive shaft and no it was not balanced the truck is used only for bracket racing it goes a 1/8 mile at a time
