Piston slap or something else? 700 1987

My car seems to have recently developped a "clacking" noise. I'm pretty sure its not the valves, becasue i hear no noise when the engine is idling. As soon as the engine is loaded however, i hear a fairly sharp clackin sound which doesnt go away as the engine gets warmer.

What could it be? At forst I would have thought piston slap, but I would think that the noise would go away after it is warm.

Also, anybody noticed a noise comming from their transmission (auto) when their car is really loaded down - its like something is wobbling around (to be technical about it) inside the tranny, but only with two or more people in the car, or a heavy load.

ITs an 87 760 by the way, with 241,000kms on it. If it has some big engine problem, I'll probably sell it and find some other volvo... as much as that would GREATLY disapoint me.
