How many motors have you had in that car? You must have been ideling at 1500 to shake enought to fuss up the picture.

3 motors. the original L82 is on a stand,put a 1k miles on it before i pulled to put in the 388,maybe 3k on it before i pulled it for the 409 that is now in there,and it has 300 miles on it now,those were some expensive miles.
The motor does idle at 1500 rpm,and with solid mounts,it shakes a little bit
 
Why so high idle?

i have had it down to 1100-1200 rpm,but it does not like it there for long,motor starts loading up. It could be that i dont have the new carb adjusted properly yet, or that cam just does not like that low of an idle.
