I'm curious to see if possibly the bottom of that bracket is rattling off the k-frame shaking the whole car when it's under a load. I'm stumped and will just take care of those few things and see if it magically goes away.

I agree the convert bolts are too big and the stall on that convertor probably makes it a bear to drive??. Worst case is the crank is walking forward as the RPMs increase causing contact.

There's a steep road near my house we crossed over before the trans mount and it shook the worst it ever did while climbing the mtn. Beats me, new parts will be ordered what I get paid next week and with any luck it will settle a bit.

The more things eliminated the less you have to think about.

They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Unless you have nuetral balanced stick flywheel and bellhousing to match the size of the flywheel I do OP, I hope you find the problem Let us know what you do find Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I'm going to send out the converter which btw doesn't have any weights on the outside of it. I'm planning to order a new flex plate/bolts, shumacher motor mounts and with any luck it will be good to go.
