I just got back from checking out a '68 Cougar that I'm very interested in buying. The only two things that keep me from plopping down the $2000 right now are:

Cranking the car over produces a grinding noise
The car vibrates more violently the faster you drive

Is there any one thing that could be causing both of these? I've looked on Cougar boards and so far the best explanation I've seen had to do with the Torque converter bolts missing the holes and bending the flywheel(I think that's what it said). So now I turn to the TFP gearheads to help me!
