Sloppy Shifts.?
This is my current motor/trans setup..
My problem im running into is that when I put it in gear, it wobbles back and forth like it does in neutral, but its in gear...
Its a b&m ss, with poly bushings. I think it might be the bushings or the linkage,
any thoughts?

Cheap fix, check the bolts holding the shift linkage and if needed -- replace the bushings with Energy Suspension bushings. It really tightens up things.

How old are the bushings?
How hard were the ones where the shifter goes into the exchange linkage to put in?
If they were even the slightest bit easy the exchange linkage needs to be crimped harder.
I ran into this problem too, it's from the mouth of the exchange linkage not being tight enough, get a pair of vice grips and tighten it without the shifter in there - then put it back together...I tried it with it in there, but it didn't work, maybe you'll have better luck.

I did the same thing, I put ES PE bushings in there too, unfortunately the exchange linkage is rather fragile and easy to open up, when this happens there's left/right play in the shifter.
Or this could be completely unrelated.
