Default What to do?

So this stupid '98 of mine has this chattering sound. I thought it was that "spark plug thing" the Tritons do. However, it is now crazy loud now. I sounds to me like it thew a rod. Could it be a cam phaser? Do they get crazy loud?
I think I don't wanna deal with this space shuttle truck anymore... I want to get rid of it for a sedan, which we really need anyway. (gas mileage, and more passenger room) I'm thinking about unloading it as-is and take what I can get for it, BUT, if it's as simple as a cam phaser, then I'll fix it and get better coin for it!

The 98 doesn't have cam phasers, that's 04 up.

Maybe exhaust manifold leak which those engines were famous for.
