Grinding, " diesel " noise under valve covers

That 427 sound like my buddies cammed 351C with about the same length exhaust. 24" Glasspack "truck mufflers" with a 3 bolt flange right off the 2" header collector in a 72 Mustang. Still sounds like a rotary noise, like a pump cavitating to me but if it don't bother you, run it. Throw some cardboard in front of the rad to heat it up.
Yikes! Like oil Pump Cavitation? Arrrghhh! Nooooo!
