Is a clunky diff when pulling away sometimes caused by the play in the drivetrain?
The rear end is polybushed so i was thinking, in theory if i fitted a poly gearbox mount and poly engine mounts or an ingalls stiffy damper, would this reduce/eliminate the clunk as it would reduce/eliminate excessive play in the drivetrain?
I am aware that poly engine and gearbox mount will increase vibration which is why i was thinking of a torque damper instead of engine mounts.
I am also going to change the diff oil to see if that helps.

Probaly diff oil and slippery stuff.
I think the extra noise's are because of the coilovers and bushes making it more solid so you hear and feel everything a lot more.
thats what i was thinking with the oil, which i why i plan to change it before thunder road 
I just thought if i stiffened the engine and box up would the general clunkynuss be reduced.
The diff doesn't clunk alot just sometimes when i pull away from standstill and sometimes changing into second at a slow speed.

you have the additional shims in your rear subframe dont you? If so, this is why. What you are hearing is normal mechanical noise. You just couldn't hear it before. Changing the engine mounts will make it worse, not better.
