The bar is probably hitting the manifold as the engine moves on it's mounts. You might have to grind away a bit of the bar to clear it.

Do a search, also...lots of info on this..

I have the groaning sound when I hit the reverse with fast acc, but no prob with slow reverse. I'm going to see if I can raise the bar a little bit w/o hitting the hood. I don't think I'm shaving down the manifold, like the other org members.
