dif mount, motor mounts, block off all your emitions trash (assuming you dont have emitions) and try to get it back to stock spec, ie, change o2 sensor, change spark plugs etc... atleast thats what i would do

All the above plus:
Synthetic gear oil in the tranny
Check the U-joints
flush/bleed the brake fluid
It's a high mileage 86, so be gentle with everything, especially the plastic clips & connectors.

My drive shaft u-joints were so shot... lol, once i took it out and played with it I couldnt get the u-joint to move again..... that thing was vibrating mad crazy whenever I wasn't in nuetral or coasting.
The reason it doesn't do it in nuetral or coasting in gear is because there is less pressure on the u-joint at those times as the tranny isn't really demanding it to move and push power.
