Finally got around to seeing what my tick was, and just as I thought it was a bent pushrod, #6 cylinder on the intake side and as a bonus #1 cylinder pushrod was bent aswell, Shane helped me out here and I finally got to take a peek underneath my valve covers. Clean for 149,100 miles. and now tick free.
Thanks everyone for always helping me out and answering my questions if it weren't for yalls help I don't know what I would do

Yea, but I will have to build this mustang first unfortunly now. Im looking into other things and having some fun with it.
Im mostly concerned with the wiring and tuning of the motor when it goes in.

I did a little cleaning of the engine bay today and cleaned up a bunch of grease. I've got a quote to head out of town to handle my engine.
I also plan to take a trip to Blanchard on Monday to get my turbos inspected to make sure everything is OK.

Kidding man, I'll be getting my 347 rebuilt.
I can't justify building the LS2 right now because I want it to be built with the best parts with no compromises. I simply can't do that while I am saving for a honeymoon. I don't use a credit card for anything car related so that's not an option so I just decided to have this one inspected and rebuilt where needed.
When it's done, it should handle everything I want it to but we will just see how everything goes. When this is done, I don't want to do anything else to the vette until after school graduation (~1.5 years). Then after I have a real, career job, I doubt Ill want to be messing with the C5 anymore.
