My first thought would be either the drive shaft or (if you have independant rear suspension) the half shafts. Check the flange bolts and also, if it's been balanced with weights, check drive shaft to make sure you haven't thrown a weight.
Ditto the wheels. I'd also look at the side pipe mountings.
Is the rear end still securely bolted down?
A lot of potential areas to look at and not a lot of information from you at this point. Just throwing stuff out there.

Don,

Thanks for the input. No vibration with the clutch in and coasting. I do have an independant rear suspension...and the half shafts did cross my mind. Interesting you mentioned the side pipes...because i was thinking about that too. The car does not make the sound in just average driving...but any quick acceleration and the sound/vibration comes back.

I will update tomorrow after I have had a chance to put it up on jacks.

Thanks
Michael
