I made up gaskets a while back. Posted on here. Layered fibreglass mesh with copper RTV. Details are in the other thread. They are still sealed up. They are reusable, made and cured off the car.

im still using my home made multi layer copper gaskets for intake and exhaust manifolds with permatex copper gasket dressing between layers there on there second motor now still holding

Sounds like it could be a free wheeling drive axle. Have you checked the CV joints? Classic symptom of "park" not working since there's an open drive shaft. Are you saying the noise continues with the car stopped with the engine running or just when moving?

i"m going to measure it soon. Had to dig up an angle gauge. I'm guessing almost 30 degrees. maybe more

All together and test drove today. Weird howl from trans input shaft when in nuetral idling. Expected that. after short drive and idling it actually subsided quite a bit. I think if I don't hammer on 1st or 2nd gears for a few long cruises it might break in. I will change the Gear oil after about 50~100 miles, if it makes it that far, lol. Suspension actually performed really well. After driving a tad, the spirngs settled, and ride height is about 1-1/2" below "topped out". A bit high, but actually rode really nice, didn't feel like it was lifting under accel. I didn't notice anything that seemed like CV cup interference. Here's a shot sitting almost level.
