New Small Block Stroker Engine Noise

340s your right that you should be able to find it farily easy since it's so loud.

If your going to pull the engine anyway you might as well have a look at the converter and pump just to make sure. Just because I haven't seen it don't mean it couldn't happen. I learned that a long time ago. If it would be anything in the torque converter/pump area the only thing I could think it could be is the bushing in the front end of the pump right behind the seal loose and letting the torque converter snout slap around. I haven't ever seen one loose enough to do that but like I said.....anything can happen.
