I just spent all summer putting the engine back in after replacing core support and detail underhood. I thought it would take me a few weekends and turned into months. ANyway, finally got it done and took for a drive this morning after it warmed up noticed a knock very light but sounds like coming from deep down. You can "feel" it when placing a board anywhere on the engine not bad and loud but you can detect it - seems to be worse when it's warm. Anyway when the engine was out - nothing was done except replace to a correct intake. I did seem to notice an occasoinal miss (actually wife did I was too excited at first) good oil pressure, not overheating. What could it be? disaster? Here are my questions.

It's a numbers matching 67 how much would a stock rebuild run if I remove and install it myself ? I want drop in since I'm not a skilled mechanic.

Would a dead miss from a bad wire/plug cause this sort of noise?

I;m not a mechanic obviously so I'll try and get it checked but are there things a novice can do to help diagnose?

I'm past the point of racing just want stock should I pack away the numbers engine and find something already rebuilt?

Thank you in advance for any input. Anyone know of a good shop in central Ohio just in case I need it?
