It could be a number of things. It could be the pushrods the lifters the rockers or something else. Give us more detail of the noise. Is it constant? or only under a load.

I second the valvetrain. My first thought were the springs. Stang got a lot of miles?

I Would have to say that it is the valvetrain to. I had the same noise with mineand it ended up being that i broke 2 springs. It also could be that you have loose rockers.
