Ok heres the deal. I purchased a 93' auto coupe for $200 to replace my crashed coupe. It has 184k on it, and was hit in the front slightly. It needed a quick pull to the rad support and it was good to go.

It makes a horrible grinding noise coming from low down. Possibly block or transmission. I thought it was the Accessory fan hitting the clutch fan, because 3 of the 4 posts that hold the acc fan were broken. So i took the acc fan out hoping that was the cause.....NOPE

This motor only needs to last me about a month. I have the motor and 5 speed trans out of my 120k car, i just need to do the timing chain on it before i put it in this shell. Any ideas of what this noise is?

Its not Exactly a grinding noise, as i said i thought it was the 2 fans hitting each other, if that gives you an idea of what the sound is like. Just sounded like the clutch fan was spinning on the stopped acc fan. Timing chain sounds like its about to snap (10x worse then the sound my 120k chain makes).
