If it's a vibration while moving, you need to check the usual: wheel balance/lug nut torque, ujoints, drive shafts, rubber coupling at the rear of the rear drive shaft (proper name escapes me as I type this - will undoubtedly remember as soon as I hit 'submit reply') etc etc

Junk motor or tranny mount? Rough running could be a completely seperate problem.
