How low is low? Could be that the axles have too much of an angle to them. Happened to me. Just have to raise the car up.

The problem I had with my car after the swap was one of the engine mount bolts came loose from all the engine vibrations. That caused a weird vibration during acceleration.

I'm going to invest in some loctite for my next swap

If it were the axle angle, wouldn't he be experiencing that shaking all the time?

Have you checked your mounts yet? also the bolts that hold the mounts to the motor/tranny.
