My car has done the same thing on two different occasions.
The first time, is was a spun bearing. I drove it home after it happened and did alot more damage.
The second time was when I replaced the broke motor with a savaged motor. Spun a bearing after a year. Lost oil pressure, light knock.
Sounds like it's time for a rebuild.

Well, just to give you guys the update, Started the car today and discoverd the knocking was coming from the bottom end, opposed to the top end, which I believe started knocking as a result of a spun bearing in the bottom end and not getting oil. Im not driving the car no more as I said, I am looking into VRE for a new 383 stroker short block. While the engine is down, ill still be around though. Saving money now for the new shortblock.
