Any thoughts on the attached engine issue you can see in this video.
Back ground: The engine is a 340 that was built very close to the same specs as a mopar muscle engine build in February 2001. Eddy performer air gap intake, Comp Xtreme Energy Cam, and 800CFM Eddy carb.... Engine was installed and broken in...Engine was built by Bowman Performance in Export, PA... Carb is now a Holley Street avenger 750 (thanks to MoparAl having it on the shelf)
Then mother nature kicked my ***. The car and engine where then flooded when my garage flooded with Katrina and Ivine hitting Pittsburgh The engine was flooded up to the side of the carb. AS soon as the water receded I worked on the car getting it drained, fluids changed (numerous times) and had the motor running again. After having a couple other buddies try to help me with no more knowledge than what I have I finally turned to one of FABO's own, MoparAl.
Flash forward to to 2012...Al and I set out to get the car running and driving again... After working through some gremlins and fuel issues (tank, fuel pump, lines, and carb) we finally get the motor to running and idle...
But here is this issue.... Watch the video.... Notice how the motor will run smooth and the it seems to load up and shake and then smooth back out... It keeps repeating this...

We have tried different different timing changes... 10degs advance seems the smoothest... tuning the carb, playing with the idle etc. -- No Luck
We double, triple, and then check the wires again.. -- No Luck
We thought we had a dead non firing cylinder...so we tried pouring some water on the exhaust pipes pipes...they all boil right off -- No luck
When we open the value covers nothing looks out of the ordinary
No water in the engine oil...
We are at a point where we are a bit stumped..... Anyone out there have any thoughts other than pull the engine and completely tear it down and start over... I don't have the money for that.
