I am thinking that as suggested you should pull the motor because in terms of the noise your hearing and the fact that your flexplate is ok I now think that going once again by your description of the sound that you have a cracked windage tray .
All the 428 motors had a full length one which made them more prone to cracking.
At any rate as others have suggested it’s time to get in there and take a good look before you blow up a rare 428 motor.
