time to do an LS swap
Yeah when I got back from your place I raised it up and changed the tranny filter and fluid and pulled the dust cover off. All the torque converter bolts were good and tight and I spun the flywheel and couldn't see any fractures. I was able to tighten up the passenger side exhaust pipe to the manifold and I checked the starter, it's tight. I left the dust cover off and sure enough it was still doing it. The more I listened to it, the more it sounded like a rod.

As for the ls swap, it sounds cool but I get my kicks building performance engines and I could make a demon of a gen1 motor for less than what it would cost me to swap to a used lsx. Besides, I love the monster torque of the big blocks!!
