Default FE Question

Don't stone me because I own an Edsel, but this seems to be the best forum regarding the FE engine. I recently purchased a '58 Edsel that has the FE 361. It has good power and idles smooth, but is one of the most noisy engines I have ever experienced. I replaced the lifters thinking that would help, but it improved only slightly. I think I know what rod knock is, but is it possible several of the rods are knocking in unison to create the symphony of noise (like a thrashing machine)?
