Help! Small block 360 has a knocking sound

Here is a question for the OP
@CheeseRules01!

What type of flex plate is behind your 360 right now.

Original mopar 318/904 Flex Plate

Or this Aftermarket B&M 360 to 904 Flex Plate # B&M 10239 for the 904s.

Then do you have the weights on your 904 torque converter ?
Or no weights at all (like used on the 318 / 904 applications).

Working to see if you have the correct Balanced Setup to work with your Externally Balanced 360 with the 904 trans.

The proper selection of balanced parts is what you need, otherwise the imbalance will cause problems like you are experiencing now as things fail, as with the Knock at the Transmission.
The Dart has the stock flexplate, and it has a properly weighted converter.
