Yes, it sounds pretty smooth and consistant. Engine runs fine and idles good. Just a lot of "ticking". My Dad has a 56 car and sounds a lot quieter. I know it has hydrolic lifters though.
Added an HEI and dual carbs. Thing has a lot more life! It has always sounded like this since I have had it. Everyone comments on the noise, but they are all used to SB chevys.
