93 Trans Am Gargling noise?

One person said it may be from just the trans trying to catch up

Another guy said it was his anti freeze getting into his exhaust or something of that sort due to the head gasket (That's my understanding of what he said).

I hear it coming from under the hood but low down it sounds almost near the ground. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.

take off the rad cap and start the car, see if it bubbles over. if it does, then you have a blown head gasket.

What's the Rad cap and what's it look like and where's it located? Thanks.

Engine cooling systems are pressurized (usually to 8 psi, I believe). The coolant will overflow from the radiator in perfectly normal running conditions when the cap is removed. That's why they say to never open the cap while the engine is hot.
