Well, It is knocking like crazy. Seems I spun a bearing I guess.

Any of you guys know a place where I can get just an engine?

Bring your rpms up to and/or around 2800rpm and listen real good. If you can hear a distinct rattle around this rpm, then you have rod knock. If it's doing it at idle, then more than likely it's something else.

A good rebuild is going to cost upwards of $600 and another used engine is going to cost $800 before shipping, so do the math.
