Alternative clangs

Although you say you also "felt" the clunk - and although I have all sixes, no V-8's, may I respectfully suggest that you "sound" or "ping" your exhaust system for that frequency heard, any sagging/loose heat shields, etc - also any hoses such as wire-wrapped tranny cooler lines which could sag slightly under G-loads, anything like a radiator fan shield which could be just occluding the fan if its clips are loosening, license plate brackets hitting, a wayward shift rod just touching the driveshaft, etc.
In other words, travel about with knuckles or a small rubber hammer and metal rod, thumping things...OR...
...Perhaps bribe a small or medium-sized child or a large adult midget (whose prefrontal lobe is therefore fully developed) to jump up and down on your bumpers whilst you attend to the car's undersides (please secure parking brake)...

May the Clang be With You, and Become Known unto You...

Stan
