I had a similar problem at 100 mph+, when i first fitted my 6 speeder...

Turned out to be the prop shaft - both UJ's were notchy

If the parts you had for the conversion were from an accident damaged car, then there is a risk that the prop is bent/damaged.

It may look perfect on the garage floor, but at speed the rotational dynamics take over.
Simply look in the Yellow Pages for a prop specialist and have it checked.fixed.
