When I had the oil pan off I gave the TC a good tug on both sides and it had very little slop, and the plastic cam sprocket is long gone.
I ran the engine with all of the belts off, noise remained.
Sound does not appear to be coming from the exhaust manifolds which are not cracked and no carbon is evident around the gaskets one of which is new.
The engine has a couple of pushrods that are slightly curved but i cannot locate new ones that are the right size. If any folks can locate me a new set of push rods that are 9.621" and have ball tips that are 3/8", (actually 3/8" not 5/16") that do not cost over $300.00 for a set. I cannot in good conscious put machined parts together with that are out of spec to a degree which would find undesirable in a cut of wood.

1975 FORD F-250 5.9L 360cid V8 Push Rod | RockAuto list a few for example.
Are you sure that you need 3/8" ball ends?
If so, why?
Just seems odd, all listings that specify *****, show more like the 5/16", like Melling They have 0.312" ball ends. 0.312 x 16 = .4.992 sixteenths and/or 0.313 x 16 = 5.008 sixteenths.
Three eighths is 0.375
