I've had this happen a couple time, similar rattle, depending on speed and torque the rattle would come and go. both times it was the heat shield around the exhaust manifold. The shield rusted around where the bolts hold to the manifold and it rattled. I also recall there is a nut/bolt combo that holds the front/rear shield together at one/two points. Unsure if this could be it but... worth a look.

As far as I know, they're original.

If the U-joints are original it wouldn't hurt to check them regardless..

jack and handle in the spare tire area? maybe some wrenches hiding under the seats rattling against each other? I've had both of those problems before.

Mine makes a 'metallic rattling sound' over bumps. One of the binder clip things on the rear springs (metal band) is loose. It annoys me, but rear springs aren't in the budget atm. lol

Do you have an AIR pump (smog pump) on your car still? I think they came factory with one. They make noises like that. I chased a similar noise around my F150 with a 5.0 only it made that noise at idle only. I swore it was something in the bottom end of the engine like a loose timing chain slapping the timing cover, but it turned out to be the smog pump.
