When we drove home we heard both the rod knock and a sound like something spinning against something stationary. I was not sure if the oil pump was affected one way or the other.
We found that rod 6 was lose and rattled about freely. This explains the rod knock. Now we plan to pull the engine, source a good refurbished crank, and head to a balance shop to get a replacement rod balanced and get the new crankshaft set up for the block. My wife thinks it is time to find a new hobby. I love this Mustang, and I love the power and torque of this 351. I guess I will get this fixed and think about building a purpose built race car for the future. I guess my desire for a convertible project car can wait a bit......
