Default Weird Rattle

Here is what I have. I recently installed a rebuilt engine and transmission on my 2000. The motor has a BTR stage 2 cam, and is yet to be tuned for the cam (not sure if that matters at all). In park and neutral a weird kind of rattling noise is made. If I take the revs to 1500 the noise disappears. In Reverse or Drive it makes no noise what-so-ever. If I'm driving the car around again, no noise. I did a preliminary check to see if exhaust manifolds were loose, or an exhaust pipe was rattling into something but I've found nothing. Any ideas on troubleshooting would be appreciated.

I'm fighting the same noise too. Wanna bet your problem lies within the torque tube bearings and/or rubber couplers. Read my trials and errors on rattling torque tube bearings if you would please, and see if what I have sounds like what you are experiencing. Good luck my friend!
