<VV> roaring sound from rear of car

[Zane Brock]

Thanks all for the advice. I had to run to Savannah for a couple of days and
did not have email to reply. We will be under the Monza tomorrow to find the
issue.

Just rambling thoughts...

Sitting still no sound at all?  Then it's not the engine.

Doesn't go away with clutch in, or change with the tranny speed?  Not the 
tranny, not the throwout brg, flywheel.... hummm, is it a riveted flywheel?

This would normally stop with the clutch in/out - don't know which one.

Stays in time with speed = somewhere between the differential and the 
outside of the wheels.

Could be a universal joint, or somewhere inside the differential.  The 
u-joints are a whole lot easier to test.

Could be something fell and is rubbing your half-shafts, like one of the 
heater tubes but that wouldn't make that much racket.

Would you jack up both sides, block the fronts, crank it, put it in gear and

let it run while you got under it to look?  I would, but I'm happy with my 
skill set.  Have someone near if you do it, just in case.

Umm, which wheel bearings?  front or back?

Regardless, it's gonna break and leave you stranded if you don't find it.

Are we sure it's not your heater fan?

Good luck.

Barry, beside you in SC.
