The hissing noise could be a bad exhaust manifold gasket or the exhaust doughnut.
The knocking noise, that's a tough one. How's the oil pressure when the engine warms up? What weight oil are you running?

hey guy, sounds like you have a stopped up catalytic converter. it's located under pass floorboard, you can have a back pressure test to see if this is the problem. the pancake style was prone to do this. the replacement converter will be a straight through type witch is a lot better.
Thanks Lee
