Have you checked the rear differential fluid? Make sure it is full and clean. Also, check for play at the pinion bearing and check u-joints.
Let me know what you find.

fluids are all okay. Just did the initial start-up after the engine swap. Tranny was great when it was parked last Friday, before we tore into the engine.
