Pulled the valve covers and then the intake hunting that pesky tic which sounded like a lifter. Alas the valve train appears great so now I am thinking its likely a wrist pin or possibly a broke ring. I purchased a great running 302 out of a 70 F 100 that a buddy recently pulled out so I guess the bronc will get a transplant in the next couple of days. I'll pull the current engine down after I get the nused one in and start planning a build for it for a spare or use in another project.
