Default Shaking

my 85 5.0 is shaking pretty bad at idle and all the way up through the rpms. i replaced the tranny mount but its still just as bad. any one have any ideas i think it could be the fly wheel but i dont know the specs of the flywheel to go buy a new one like what imbalance i need and how many teeth it should have or if i should go with aluminum or steel what kind of a difference will i make??
