I  just came in from the garage and got under the car, I had my hand on the 
 bottom of the oil pan but could not feel anything hitting it. Plus the 
noise  was no where near as loud at the oil pan. Still sounds to me like it 
coming  from the middle of the motor. I also pulled each plug wire off one by 
one and  it made no difference on the sound.  Don't know where to go from  
here.                                                               Alex

Hi,
When I was 19 I rebuilt the 390 in my 70' AMX. Put it the  car and drove 
to the muffler shop with open headers (I was 19 remember!).  When the guy 
buttoned up the exhaust he lowered the lift and I started it  up. There 
was a loud thumping coming from the bottom end. I almost puked!  He 
lifted the car again and we listened. The noise was coming from the oil  
pan. I was figuring on a tare down. But this old guy who worked there  
came over with a rubber mallet. He smacked the back of the sump and the  
oil pan popped, the noise went away. I guess I had caved in the bottom  
of the pan while the engine was on the dolly. It's a long shot but worth  
checking.
