It's more noticeable at idle. Motor mounts are both broke, need to have 1 solid and 1 rubber with tie downs.... They didn't last 2 months. It drove fine for a while without issues. I was doing about 20mph and put the pedal down til it almost hit 5k rpm and let off. And when I parked it to adjust the idle that's when I noticed the sound. Wasn't quit sure what it was...figured I would start a thread...ive never had a damaged motor (besides a tick) or damaged transmission. So I don't know what the sounds mean. Some other people suggested that the oil pump in the trans is failing. But have no idea.Only at idle?
Does it change with engine speed?
It's shaking pretty good there, sounds like a Farmall tractor, or my old Willys......
Engine mounts good?
Seems I remember you were "exercising" it after the carb swap...
How tight did you wind it up?
What do you mean by "how right did I wind it up?"Only at idle?

Thats a possibility. If both were already broke, maybe I shifted the motor a tad when I put the pedal down. When I listen from the top of the motor, noise seems to be from the passenger side and below the firewall area....but when I was under the car where the headers don't leak so much, it sounds like the trans....Possibly a header just tapping the frame. I would start by checking for any loose bolts or tin shields.
Easy way to test is to unbolt the torque convertor and slide it back towards the pump.Some other people suggested that the oil pump in the trans is failing. But have no idea.
Then start it up when the converter is off?Easy way to test is to unbolt the torque convertor and slide it back towards the pump.
