I have a 302 crate motor with a rebuilt C-4 and a 9'' in a 67. At start up and when I shift gears around 3-4000 rpms I get a bad sounding dry metal on metal clank. It only occurs about half the time. The sound is like some one dragging a quarter over radiator fins, just a real quick sound. Could this be the alternator bearings or PS pump? It seems to be from the front part of the engine. I have looked underneath it today and don't see anything loose or out of place. The flex plate looks ok. Thanks
