There is another thread here from about a year ago addressing this issue. A PY member actually manufactured spacers to put under the motor mount brackets. I purchased some myself but havent installed them yet. I corrected my problem (Milodon oil pan rubbing the crossmember) with modified motor mounts before I saw these spacers. I intend to install them the next time I need mounts. I only had to jack mine up about 1/4 of an inch at the mount. Made a bigger difference overall than you may realize. I beleive in my case it was due to high mileage. (395,000). Plus some hard driving. Your vibration is likely a combination of different things, but it is something to address.
