it sounds to fast for a lifter tap. not saying its not as my 86 has one that is bad now and it tapps all the time. but mine came on slow wine then slight tap then tap. sounds like my 454 did when it broke a push rod would be worth tacking the valve covers off and checking all rockers for a loose one and springs. do you know what cam is in it? and are you a hard driver?? high rpms and heavy throttle?
