A symphony of horrible noise. 140-160 1971

Good Morning.

Going to work yesterday with my 144s, it sounded as if the engine was starting to ping under load. Coming home the ping turned into a metal on metal rapping noise, lotsa vibration, skips in the power, decreased power... a symphony of horrible noise. Any application of the gas brought on the BANG. Even downhill she ran horribly. I made it to the driveway, shut her off. When in the house for a much needed beer. Went out and started her up. Sounds bad, like loose metal wobbling about in the block. No smoke, no fluids, no external signs. Ran great yesterday.

I'm calling the Rx today... I know this one is beyond my ability. Any thoughts on what's in store?

Thanks.
