64speed,
No, believe it or not, it hasn't been resolved. I've put less than 200 miles on this car since I got it.
Bentwheelbob,
Yeah, I think you're right. Me and my buddy's have spent well over 60 hours of diagnosis time and replacing parts. I have about $1,600 in just parts and tools since I got the motor delivered. (Rockers, pushrods, flexplate, fluids, gaskets, I also had a shop inspect the cylinder heads and I bought a bore scope.). It's been tough. If I knew more about cars, I'd have an easier time trying to figure all this out. Since my knowledge is very limited, that why I went Paul. I may try to get the flexplate installed just to rule that out before the motor goes back to Arizona. I'd hate to send the motor back and Paul can't duplicate the knocking noise. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks for all the suggestions.
