Remove and check your engine mounts, the passenger side ones are the most likely to fail. Also check the UJs on the intermediate propshaft.

Could be a defective mount. When one went on my T-box it would jump around whenever torque was applied.

I've had that same problem twice. Exactly as Scottie & Edweird say, one time it was one of the T-box mounts and the other time it was a UJ on the intermediate prop. Good luck!
