Clutch fork shaking

I just put in a new 11in clutch,pressure plate,flywheel, throwout bearing,clutch fork,and clutch fork ball seat. I get a noise like something is rubbing in the bell housing and with the hood opened looking at the clutch fork is shaking. Is this normal to have a little noise and for the clutch fork to be moving while the clutch is disengaged with the engine idling. I have had it to the shop that put it in twice and still same thing. Does the truck need a 10inch clutch instead of 11in? I did recently swap from a 6 to an 8cyl not sure if that has anything to do with it also tranny was completely gone through.
Thanks

If you are talking about an '82 F100, then it sounds like you need to back off the clutch linkage a little to give a small gap between the throwout bearing and the pressure plate fingers.

i agree with jim, i did a clutch job on my 80 f150 and put a new fork and release spring on and my clutch wouldn't disengage. then i found out that the spring had to much tension on it and was pulling the fork back to far. i adjusted the spring and everything worked fine.
