It does sound like rod knock, but more muffled than what Ive heard in the past. I wouldn't necessarily settle on that. How many miles did this engine have on it when you installed it? Now?
And why the hell does everyone love pulling the engine out of their car? The crank might be fine, just pull the pan off, take the spark plugs out, unbolt the rods one at a time, and check it. The heads can stay on.

PS, cam can come out in the car, just yank the radiator.
PS PS, diesels are loud because of the fuel injectors

It has good oil pressure I'm assuming? I don't see why you would be having a clearance issue unless there was extreme neglect. And I know thats not that case

Don't recall how many miles it had on it when I got it. I've put on about 12k and those are a fair portion of romping around, dozens of 1/4 mile runs, etc.
Everything is on a quick connect. I have a hoist and a stand. It's not necessarily all that difficult to pull the motor and have the convenience of working on it on a stand if it came to that.

Well it may not be rod knock, and if it is you may be able to get away with new bearings installed with the motor in the car. So dont cry yet

I don't know what kind of clearance you have on a C3 but on the Chevelle and the Cobra there is no way to pull the oil pan without lifting the engine due to the crossmember. The only vehicle I would be able to pull the pan on is the Explorer because I cut the factory crossmember out and made a new one that is forward of the engine for the SAS.

Front cross member is in front of the motor in a C3, its a front-mid engine car. Two tie rods to move the steering arm out of the way and the car is just a pretty oversized engine stand.

How is the valve train loud? The sound you hear in a diesel engine is the sound of the injectors opening and closing at insane rates of pressure.
