Sound like Carbon Build-up to you?

When this first happened, I pulled the plugs to see what they looked like. Of course the car drove about 300 feet after this happened. The plugs were really nice looking.
Crap! I really don't know where to go from here. I'm learning that this engine has a Shaft balancer. Never heard of this before. It appears that it is a long shaft that runs across the top of the Block just under the Intake Manifold. It is Run off the Timing Belt. Maybe that looseded up and is smacking around under there when it feels like it.
This is the other problem. I really do not know this engine. Even though it's literally a 350 V8 cut to 6 cylinders, it's not the old school Small blocks that I have been elbow deep in years ago.
Compression check, stethoscope probing, screen oil, Timing Lash check, check the Flex Plate Bolts on the torque convertor then probably pull the Intake off. Just too many harnesses in teh way... I hate that
it's odd, for sure. I usually have a direction to go but this is odd.
