Still have a loud hammer sound, link to video

Ok, I bought this car to learn some things. I may have learned that I guess wrong often

Can anyone give me a hint at what this sound could be?

Here's the link to photobucket for the videos: car stuff pictures by lynettee_66 - Photobucket

thats a wrist pin. a wrist pin can drive for many miles like that. its sounds like the rod to main bearings are going too though. in the second vid i heard another rattle lower down in the engine. basically the motors junk.

Bummer. I guess I was too optimistic that the motor was OK.

True. However, replacing the engine is not really on my to-do list. I think I will just sell it or part it out.

Free2.3, you live in Washington State, right?

I've already done a 302 swap on my 1965 mustang convertible and it was quite a bit of work. Basically, I'm just playing with the Fox bodies until I can save money for the paint job on my classic
