Smokey, I'm sure not much of a mechanic, but one comment I would make about
the noise you mentioned....it may be the timing gear. My '47 has a '56 235
in it and was making a whirring noise. When I had it checked out by a
couple of older mechanics, they said it was the timing gear. Said not to
worry, it's no big deal. Don't know if your situation is the same, but you
may want to check to see.
