I have a 96 roadmaster with an LT1. I bought it last month. It was sitting for about 5 months or so, before I bought it.

Problem:

When I accelerate it rattles like hell from up front (sounds like a bunch of wire clothes hangers rattling inside of a pipe). I've been told that it may be that the gas was bad. I put in 93 octane and some gas treatment and some fuel injection cleaner. Drove about 150 miles but its still doing it.

Any suggestions.

Rockers might need to be adjusted. Can you narrow it down as to where it is comeing from.

Is shaking though the drivetrain?

does it happen only when driving? is it coming from the engine? More info would help.

My Buick was doing this when one of the exhaust mounts was hitting the pipe, and again when one of the pipes came loose. The rockers should't make THAT much noise if they are loose.
