Do you have dual SU's?
Before I really adjusted and balanced my carbs, my engine would
bounce about two inches from side to side. It was evident at idle
by watching the gear shift knob bouncing around.
I took my trusty uni-syn and set the air flow, which smoothed the
idle out. Of course, I never noticed the car 'leaning' when I
stepped on the gas, but then again I never looked.
It could very well be bad motor mounts if your carbs check out as
balanced.
