hate to break it to you Kilted Banshee, but if it's doing what you say it is at that rpm range, that's not your engine knocking, that's your main bearings rattling. If I were you, I would baby that thing, until you can pull the motor and replace them. If you get on it, you could lock up the crank or throw a rod through the side of your block, and then you will be screwed. Any decent mechanic can take care of that for about 400 or 500 bucks, depending on how much the shop charges. I would get that fixed asap, or just rebuild the motor. The reason I know this is because my mustang does the exact same thiing...I get between 1200 - 2300 rpm, and it rattles, but if i get above that it stops. That's your main bearings...i would take care of that asap, or park it.
