Don't rule out piston slap. The T-Bird would make more noise while accelerating, that is with the engine under load. It was an automatic, so putting it in drive, and pressing on the gas while holding the other foot firmly on the brake would really make it knock.

Does the engine make the noise all the time while cold or does it change if you rev the engine, load the engine, etc.?
