update: engine back in...but
Yep...still something wrong!
Started out as a knocking sound that I thought might have been the clutch (posted details before) and the clutch was really worn and could ot handle the power either way so why not just replace the clutch and be done with that issue. I did this myself and I must say that I was happy it went pretty smooth, but really wish I would have had a subject matter expert here with me to guide me along. THE NEXT DROP WILL BE MUCH EASIER now that I know a few things. The only issue getting it all going again was that I cross threaded a fuel line fitting and this eliminated my chances of starting the car up to see if I had repaired the knocking noise with the clutch replacement. I did some searching and thanks to a couple reccomendations I found a hydraulic shop that made me a fitting, so I return home and install the fuel line. Now I start it up and it immediatly starts and hits about 3000 rpm, I quickly pull back on the throttle linkage and notice my cable is routed wrong and causing the throttle linkage to stay slightly pulled over and not allowing it to return unless I pull on it. No big deal, I will redo the throttle cable and correct the issue. Here is the bad news, the noise is still there...but I do notice that it's only present when the engine decelerates below 900 rpm and once it goes up to 1000 rpm or higher the noise is gone. Now I start listening close as I play with the throttle inkage and I think it may be the chain guides  ...this is not good news for me as I just spent about all I can afford on the new clutch last week and the engine install (Apr 03) and now what will be next?So does anybody have any insight on what I may be heading in to...costs, work, etc? I have spoke with Harald and I am waiting for him to call me back, so maybe I can pray that he can help.

You can make a pretty good stethascope with about a .5 meter length of dowl (metal preferably). Put one end against the part of the engine you want to listen too (beware the spark plug wires
 ) and put the other end against your skull right next to your ear. It might help you track the noice.
