dont think its the motor, but open her up and take a look

 

mine had like a clunking and scraping noise sounding like it was coming from under the car. it was a rod bearing. check your oil, mine was burning a lot of oil when it happened. that sucks man. my car has a brand new everything now and i'm selling it for 21k

 

Like said above sounds like a cracked flywheel to me.

 

I feel safe at my powerlevel but apparently 410 whp means I'll be joining the club soon too.

 

That's whats weird, I did a compression check, and all the cylinders came back at only a 3% difference from eachother, and then I changed my oil, and I hadn't burned any at all. I was at 5qts, and minus the oil filter, that's how much I put in.

I'm lucky in that I have a car lift to put the car up onto, so I had it running while I was underneath, and the sound honestly wasn't coming from the oil pan, but actually rear of the oil pan, where the flex plate meets the bellhousing. There has been a tiny oil leak coming from that same spot for a while, so I think that might be a good lead.

You will have absolutely no problem selling your car for 21k, probably more if you wanted. Locally, a classic car guy appraised my car at 20k for insurance purposes, so I have a feeling you should be fine with that asking price.

 

ironically I just took a video from underneath the car, and you can actually hear the noise I'm talking about, but now Windows vista won't allow me to upload it[:@][:@][:@]

 

good luck with it. I know you and nanaki have a lot of money in ya'lls cars and I wish ya'll the best of luck in selling them but $20,000+? Hell I'd probably let mine go for $12,000 and also throw in the welds wheels with slicks and skinnies and any spare parts that I had.

 

alright, here is the video that I took, you really have to pay attention to it, because it is fairly subtle compared to the exhaust noise. At first I just thought one of the brackets for the exhaust had come loose, something like that, but it doesn't sound like that. Oh and Nanaki, it wasn't that I couldn't host it, it was that apparently Windows Vista and my camcorder aren't compatible, so I had to switch over to my XP machine to get it to work.

You're talking about the teapot noise, right? It does sound like a bearing noise. Does the bottom the the bellhousing come off at all? I know a lot of autos have a removeable part of the belhousing so you can see the torque convertor. If there is one, take it off (shouldn't be more than 4 or 5 bolts), and listen then. It's fine to run the car without it on, it won't hurt anything.

 

The whistle? No thats the blower, theres kind of clicking noise if you listen closely, it's pretty audible at about 18sec into the video. If I had the skill, I would edit the audio track and eliminate all the other noise, but I don't have that kind of software on my computer.
