I know if your in park and easy the RPMs up and you get to 1500to2000 rpms it start and its not as bad if your going down the road tho. and if you past it it goes away and if your before it it dont do it eaither. Just in that RPM range.

I just went out there and the header is right near the stering arm. how far does the header has to be from the stering arm.

Catch me if I'm wrong, but your tranny is in the front of the car, therefore your driveshaft is directly coupled to your diff. Your driveshaft turns the same RPM per MPH no matter what gear you're in. So if you put it in overdrive, wouldn't it still vibrate at the same range of speed? I think that rules out the shaft.
If it was a harmonic balancer problem, it would be there all the time over a certain range of engine RPM. Putting the car in neutral shouldn't affect that at all.
I think it sounds like an engine/tranny mount problem, I suspect you have a worn or broken mount. It doesn't matter if all the bolts are tight if one of the mounts is broken or damaged. If it's a 94, they're probably pretty shot if they're the stock rubber set..

Shifting into overdrive wouldn't stop tire vibration..

tire and size doesn't mean anything when it comes to balance. You can have $4,000 dollar tires and you'll still have to have a balance. Its pretty easy to throw a weight that keeps everything balanced too. I think tire shops charge about $4 a tire to get them balanced.
