There it is! I was trying to put that pic in the pic forum. Guess its here know. Got mad after was told that the car wasn't worth $1000. Decided to keep it. Did a burnout be fore putting it away and figured that its not a spun bearing because this would have grenaded the engine. My nephew was on a fishing trip that day and got mad that he missed the burnout so when he came over we tookit to the end of the street and he took the photo. Still runs. think its the flexplate/torque conv./very front of transmission(input shaft/stator) that is making all the noise. 8)

besides had to spend part of the day putting in the new headliner! RedHotRegal said:There it is!
probably a cracked flexplate. i have cracked them on Buick 3.8's, Chevy small blocks, and Jeep 4.0 motors just to name a few, always sounds like a rod knock.
red....you can usually find out if it is a rod bearing that spun by killing one spark plug at a time. The cylinder with the bad rod should be alot quieter with the cylinder not firing. Also if you remove the inspection cover for the transmission and unbolt the torque converter you can slide the converter back to give you a view of the flex plate.
