Engine Knocking

I have a '84 Z28 who decided a while back that it was going to start knocking and slowly lost power, when it started knocking I pulled over and it just shut off. I have the engine pulled now, and it didn't throw a rod, spin a bearing. Although, the cylinder port was clogged. Could that be what caused it? If not, any suggestions on what it could be?

Re: Engine Knocking

Have you pulled the heads? Dropped valve maybe? Wild guess.
