65 Barracuda daily driver
It's all back together and I fired her up tonight. There's still some ticking, but that could be an exhaust leak. I had changed the outer bolts to studs while the coolant was drained and didn't change the gasket. There also seems to be some noise coming from the fan belt. I might just take the belt off and start the car to see if it's still there. The alternator might not be perfectly in line. Probably not a bad idea to check all pulley bolts. Other than that it runs well!
Tomorrow I'll see if it still rattles on the cold start, but I doubt it...
I spent way too much time to re-routing the heater hoses and made this mount that bolts to the top of the shock. Just a few random brackets I had laying around. I cut a piece of radiator hose so it fits a little tighter.
