Default loud ticking

It is pretty much stock except now it has Ams TB. It started about 2 months ago a slight ticking noise. I thought it was normal since its an lt1. But then yesterday I hear a big pop when I started it and now the ticking is hell of loud and the car shakes. It feels like its miss firing and wants to die. Any ideas?

Sounds like a bad lifter.

Hi,
you can use the old reliable stethoscope........... To pinpoint area of noise.
Good luck and have a blessed week........captain jim
ps: Pull valve covers and do a visual with engine running.
