You should think REBUILD first. IF the crank is "gone" I'd look into what exactly that means. He probably spun a bearing and wiped out the crankshaft. At the very least you'll need a crank and new main bearings, new rod bearings as well. Summit, Jeg's and all sorts of places sell crankshafts. It sounds like a motor thats in need of a complete rebuild. Tear it down, find out what is damaged. You'll probably find that you need more than just a crankshaft 😉
so its a rod knock u dont need a new crank just rod bearings if thats what it is or check out the flywheel to because even the littlest crack in that will cause a knocking noise to
yea i would tear it all down to see whats worn and can be reused
how the car run even with the knocking decent, bad, can the motor fire right up if u wanted it to
with a cracked flywheel the motor will run as good as it was before the crack it just will make a knocking noise and if ran to long in a car it could burn up the trans pump, takes awhile tho

sure, replacing just the rod bearings (or whatever is causing the knock) but how long will it last? i mean, if hauling out the motor and all that is no big problem for you go nuts... personally i'd rather not have to pull it out more than once. save yourself some time and build it right. depending on how bad the bearing was it may have damaged the journals of the crank.
