Can anyone help me figure out this sound?

OK, guys. Here's the thing. I'm about to spend a good deal of cash to get my beloved 85 900T back on the road with a new 5-speed (the old one finally went, it was the original)....but there's this wierd noise coming from the engine bay. I'm a little worried to spend the $$$ for a new tranny and have something else blow up later. anyway, i can't really figure out where it's coming from, but it's a rhythmic ticking that starts out pretty slow and then increases with engine RPMs. it's very loud...and kinda scary. i hope it's not anything terrible, but i figure if my mechanic's gonna transplant a new tranny, he might as well fix this thing too....if i can figure out what it is. someone mentioned earlier that it might be the timing chain, which REALLY sounds bad.....anyone got any bright ideas? earlier, there was another similar sound, which ticked faster....but i was told that was the APC something-or-other. anyway, anybody got any suggestions? thanks!
