So at first I thought it was my suspension but now am beginning to think it's my engine knocking. it'll knock in 3rd and 4th gear. As I accelerate, the knock will accelerate and vice versa. Am I screwed? If it's knocking, will it make it through winter? I just need it to make it through winter so I can finally do a swap. If I have to granny drive it to make it through, I'll have to. I can't risk having the engine die on me
 Thanks.

Are you sure it's not pinging you're hearing (also known as spark knock?) try a tank of premium? And/or some combustion chamber cleaner to get the excess carbon out. Like Seafoam's DeepCreep or the Amsoil PowerFoam. could be it's so carboned up it's raised the compression to where you have a lot of pinging happening, It'd be under more of a load in the higher gears?
