Starts easily enough and runs very good but possibly has a vibration/knocking down in the bottom end at the rear of the motor.I've never owned a high compression SBF (13:1) so maybe its normal but I would like someone who has built or owned these kind of motors to listen to it. I didn't build it but bought it so I don't know a lot about the inside except its a 331 or so . I've done some work like changing the lifters and rocker arms trying to eliminate the noise and I can say the top end is not making any extra noise.Well who knows maybe the valves are banging back into their seats but hopefully someone can help me out. I need to figure out what I need to do next.

Check to make sure the flywheel isn't broken or loose.

I'll take a look but that will call for an engine removal. For some reason there is no inspection plate on the shim/block plate between the engine and trans. If I have to go that far I might as well tear the whole motor down.

I wanted to give a call out to Gary for all the help he gave me getting my motor back together. The motor was a giant mess. With his help, I now have a real stout little motor. I've made about six passes with it and the motor hasn't missed a beat. Now if only I could say the same for the driver. The real point of this note is: If you need any help, contact Gary. He knows what he's doing.
