Default Driveline vibration issue

I have a 92 240sx with a 5.3l/TH350 and have had a pulsating driveline vibration from 40+ MPH ever since I put it in. Now at first I thought it was my driveshaft angle because it was 1 degree on pinion and -3 on the tailshaft but now its 1 on the pinion and -1.5ish on the tranny. Im not sure if .5 matters but it didnt change a thing. Is there any chance the vibration is caused by having solid motor mounts and a solid tranny mount? Because it does change depending on gear and load.
