I had this happen to me on a 305 chevy
pickup. The knock wasn't consistent though. I had a hell of a time finding
it!
But when I took the flywheel off, it came
of in two pieces!

I'll
bet you it's a cracked flywheel and/or a loose flywheel bolt. Check the
flywheel very carefully with a flashlight. Remove the flywheel bolts (take
note if any seem to be too loose) and look for cracks around the bolt holes
that might be concealed by the bolt heads. Also, make sure you have the right
bolts. A bolt that's too long can bottom out against the torque converter
before the flywheel is completely tight. Also the correct bolts have little
"ridges" around the head to help them lock into
place.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Bad news came
tonight...
All,
I found
out some bad new about Lucy tonight.. Now before everyone gets worried Lucy is
my 65 Chevelle Wagon.. Now on with the story. I have had some knocking in my
engine at idle for a while. At a friend's suggestion I remove the
mechanical fuel pump and replaced it with a electric one.. Waaa;llllaaa the
noise seemed to go away for a while.. Lately I have heard the knocking sound
again. so I took it to a local guy http://www.kennyeakles.com/ (not
an advertisement just wanted to put his opionion in purspective) .. and he
says that I have a rod knocking and most likely will need a shortblock
or maybe I can get this one bored over.... Also to start looking at kits to
rebuild the engine... So here is where my questions starts... I only have
about 5 months of messing with older cars and definately don't have the
expertise to fix it myself, YET!!... Any ideas on good books, kits< crate
engines??
