Default excessive engine vibration pulling through 3rd and 4th gear

Hey guys need a little help here, I got done installing a B16A2 into my EK hatch and it is doing great except for a bad engine shake. It is most noticable pulling hard through third and fourth gear, and is worst going through the 40-50 mph area. I have checked and double checked the motor mounts and they seem fine so now I am stumped.

Possible ideas that I had:

#1- Axles- not sure if this can cause a shake but the passenger axle was really hard to install?
#2- little torque mount for AC- the rubber is a bit torn but it was the same on the EG I got the motor out of and it had no shake?

Any help is greatly appreciated, I need to get this taken care of it feels like the motor is gonna rip out of the car

Wheel lugnuts.
Wheel balancing
Axles tweaked.

Lug nuts- torqued to spec

Wheels - rebalanced recently (thought that could be the prob also)

Axles tweaked- Not sure how to check? Just look at them or is there a way to test them?

Thanks for the suggestions

A little more info here maybe it will help :

Everything worked perfectly in the EG that the motor was pulled from.

All the mounts are nice and tight.

I just removed bnoth axles and reinstalled them.

Still has the same shake! I am willing to try anything just need some more suggestions please.......
