Is your valve lash 0.120" or 0.012"? There is a huge difference between them. One is proper and the other is 10x what it should be.

Proper valve lash is 0.012"

Torque converter come apart? Might be transferring sound thru crank to front of motor. Or I hate to say it, broken crank? Is the crank balancer wobbling?

Idk about the crank but the converter is still good cuz i drove it up on a trailer no problem. If u put ur hand on airbox u can feel it there n hear it put hand on motor feels like running motor no stutters.

Sounds like a valve is not opening or not sealing properly causing it to blow back through the intake, but this should have shown up on a compression test. What was the compression? The only other thing I can think of is if the cam pin sheared and threw cam timing out of whack.

What did you end up finding? My lb7 did the same thing, ended up being a broken exhaust push rod on the pass. side.
