Piston slap is a result of piston skirt to cylinder wall clearance.It really doesn't have to be excessive to slap. Later red blocks had piston coolers (squirters) and are reportedly quieter. It is nick-named the "Tractor Motor" probably for that reason!

To ease your mind a little my '87 turbo has slapped since I rebuilt it 10 years ago (with used pistons) and now has 481,000 miles (not kilometers)

I fully expect mine to see the half million mile mark! Then I might think about a later engine.
