Can the local shop put the engine and transmission on a test bed an
run the engine?
That should tell you if the noise is from the engine and where.
Are you running a 4bbl carb? Could it be rubbing on the firewall?
There might be a rub mark on the firewall if that was happening.

Subject: [Tigers] Any ideas?
I took my engine out and have it in a local shop. A rattling noise had
appeared and it seemed to be coming from the passenger side rockers. Cover
was removed and everything found to be fine. So engine out. The engine is
a 302 stroked to 331. Hydraulic cam and roller rockers. The rattling is
heard at idle, but can't be heard when revved a little. The pan is off and
all the bottom end appears normal. The intake is off and everything that
can be seen appears okay. Any ideas of what could be causing the noise?
They did find that there is more end play than there should be but doesn't
appear that this is causing the noise. The wrench guy heard that sometimes
Centerforce clutches can create a rattling noise. Centerforce tech guys say
they never heard of it, but some on-line mechanics say that they've found
that they can rattle. Any thoughts of what could cause the noise? Mark
