Looking for your opinions. As some may remember, one of my cousins lives in Norway. Well he takes after me in his passion for cars, and even better... American muscle.

A year or two ago, he purchased a 1973 Camaro LT. Its a beautiful car, and completeley stock other than some wheels and a white dye job to the interior. Even the engine requires a lead additive for the fuel.

ANYWAYS... he recently told me that there is a noise. According to him it is not constant... but Im still trying to decipher if that means its speed is not constant, or if the sound goes away. I asked for a video of the motor running so I could help him decipher what it is... but he sent me one of the car driving.

Here is a link of the video... If you cant see this, I will be posting up one that is hosted on Youtube once it finishes loading.

Give me your advice on what you think the sound is... I have an opinion, but I dont want to say it and sway anyones thinking.

4 spd or auto? At idle in gear or not. Clutch in etc. Need underhood running vid. The vid u posted on fb sounds like a flexplate/flywheel to me

Sounds like he blew a big hole in the exhaust manifold gasket or header gasket.

x2 that absolutely sounds like an exhaust leak. Sound gets faster with accel and slower with decel. It's tough from that video but if that's all I have to go on I would check the entire exhaust.
