Does it sound like detonation (pinging), or more like something mechanical? If it has held together this long my imagination says it's pinging with the advance/fuel ratio change/engine load. But, a friend of mine built an FE many years ago with the pistons poking out of the cylinders a little too far. Just enough to cause a rattle something similar to what you're taking about. He ended up double up the head gaskets for short term fix (didn't last).
