Hello every one,
I picked up a 1994 Toyota Celica with 137,000 miles for $300 yesterday. It has what seems to be a rod knock. The owner said it has only been driven 10 miles since it started knocking. She said the engine shut off in while driving and when she started up it started knocking. I have made a youtube video of the knock.

I have heard that rod knock is loudest when you let off the gas. Thats what I am trying to do in the video but the noise goes away when I let it go. Also its pretty quite on idle and third gear. I am really hoping its the torque converter bolts. I took out spark plug wires one by one yesterday but the noise did not go away. Thanks.

stephen_lee, I have read some posts about 7AFE and 4AFE having the same horse power even though size is different. I understand I might have to out a different ECU if it doesn't run well. I am just looking for a practical car, don't care about power at this point.
