My 232/234 comp cams with Prothane mounts shakes very little. It gives you some vibration idling thru the whole vehicle but the engine itself moves very little.

the shaking is due to the **** stock engine mounts, it is always a good idea to change mounts when doing a cam swap. most folks don't but it is a good idea.
the rocking/shaking is NOT a good thing- think of it this way, if the engine is moving it takes power to move it, that power is not getting to the wheels(might not be much but..), more importantly with significant movement of the engine your drive train is being put in a bind and premature failure can result. Just my .02
