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.

When we inspected the bottom end recently, we did not see any issue with the windage tray and before that we installed a new oil pump, it is too bad that we did not get to inspect the Rod orientation at that time, we learned after reassembly that there was an issue with the upper Pistons, after we removed the Heads. However, if this Flexplate does not fix this ghost noise, I will certainly address that and pull it and take another look at the Windage Tray and the Rod orientations. The Windage Tray is made of just the type of "tin metal- type sound" that would create harmonics in an Engine, especially due to its location, good thought and thank you for the input, Mike out.
