Default EJ8 with Knocking :( need help

tonight i was driving back from a bar heard a knocking noise from 20 to 40 mi per hr and it gets louder. I was driving at a normal acceleration when this all started to happen i have no idea what the problem is and i cant figure it out because its too dark. Its bugging me and i want to see if any1 had a clue of what my problem is. It sounds like its coming from inside the block
the car just hit 100,000 mi and i checked all fluids

so its only while driving, or it does it while sitting still idling? ticking is one thing but knocking is another... does it sound like either of these?

so if you were to rev it a little when the car is parked it wont make the noise? i'm trying to isolate whether its something to do with the engine itself, or if its something in the drivetrain that is only affected when the car is moving.

up to you man. its an investment either way. you just have to determine how much money your willing to and/or would like to put into it. if your ok with spending some cash and want to make it a bit quicker then go with a b. if you just need the thing running again asap then throw a stocker back in there and be done with it. this is all of course what you do once you determine for sure that its a spun bearing lol.
