engine pinging / clattering

Hello, I'm from San Antonio, Tx. and I'm new to this forum... I'd appreciate anyones help with a problem that just developed with my 91 5.0 LX Convertible. I've been noticing a slight pinging uder accelleration for a little while and just thought I might have gotten some cheap gas. I picked my car up fropm the body shop today and it's running terrible. Low power and clatters alot under accelleration. I changed the fuel filter, plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, and check the timing. Runs a little better, but not much. Any thoughts as to what my problem might be or what I should check next?

Thanks,

What's the oil pressure like ? I'd double check before driving ANY more. It could be a busted oil pump driveshaft or even an oil pump on the way out.

Are you leaking oil possibly?
I thinks it's more of a valve train problem than a fuel/air/spark delivery problem.
