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

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

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

X2, I would look a drive shaft length if your breaking tailshaft housings

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