Can you pin down from what general area the clatter is coming from?
Up top? Near the firewall? Down in the lower part of the engine compartment?
I wouldn't rule out a knocking wrist pin. I had a car with a worn small end bearing that made noises like you describe, and under the same conditions. It wasn't terribly loud, but you could hear it Somebody in the past had certainly run the car low on oil. A fresh oil change would temporarily improve the noise, but it always came back. The car ran strong despite this condition and was driven hard by me with no further deterioration. I credit that to on schedule oil changes.
