Going to throw that engine in my truck, rebuild my current engine with upgrades, and now that I have all kinds of spare parts I’m sending the spare tranny out to be re done to handle the new engine all while still being able to drive my truck……

I never find great deals so I’m pretty pumped about this
Congrats!

That is what they call "Serendipitous". I have ran into deals like that, but, they are extremely rare, and ya gotta jump when they present themselves. Start a thread for your build project. You know how we are about pics.

could your tick/tap be a muffler deflector that is rattling by chance. Or a heat sheild deflector that vibrates more with that rpm. Just a thought
