Wierd Vaccum noise from my 400
I recently replaced the water pump and removed the intake manifold to paint it. I discovered lots of sludge and build up. I removed that, painted everything and put it all back together. Not under acceleration, there is a sucking sound under the hood. All vacuum lines are connected and I used Edelbrock intake gaskets and ULTRA Copper for end seals. We sat the manifold on the block perfectly with no wiggling; everything lined up. Car goes like stink at full throttle, no oil/water mixing, and no leaks. I even sprayed carb cleaner at the base to check for a leak around the manifold and carb. Any thoughts?

It's your carburetor. They all do that.
You just can't hear it with the stock air cleaner on, because it's designed to muffle the noise.
When I worked for NYC*EMS "back in the day," we used to flip the air cleaner covers, because the giant air rushing noise would scare the pedestrians out of the way more effectively than the siren, which they were used to and ignored.
