WAV files of 1950's engine sounds - Really! - This technology thing is getting way out of hand!
Two words - "rod knock". Try idling the engine and then opening the throttle at the carb so you can hear the engine. If the noise gets worse for a second as the engine starts to speed up, then that's what it is. If this is the case, then your rod and main bearings are probably worn quite a bit.
