Default 89 F150 is putting, no power, knocking underneath???

Truck ran just fine yesterday, started it this morning and it's putting, has no power and has some kind of knocking underneath. It's a 8cyl., 302 I had put in a few years back. Friends tell me it's the timing chain but I don't know what all the symptoms of a timing chain failure. Any suggestions out there.. I am lost and can't pay a mechanic a million dollars to figure this out... Thoughts??

compression test will tell you if the motor is bad...could be rods or pistons
