thats the same noise my 97 f150 makes! it made it once and went completely away now its back and getting better again! if it was a rod bearing it would get worse so you option is drive it till it blows or goes away but with bad oil pressure you will kill it!
@bbzzrrzz my 97 f-150 done that for about 3 years until 1 day my harmonic balancer pully fell off.Turns out the pully was cracked around the bolts which finally sheared off.New harmonic balancer and pully was almost $450.00 because it was a dealer part because it has the 4.2 v-6.the v-8 models are available at most part stores at a much cheaper price.
You need a new engine buddy, sounds like your rod bearing is loose. Either that or you just might have a loosened piston knocking. If that's the case, your engine block is damaged. Either case you might need a new engine.
I am going with the timing chain or tensioner on this one

Doesn't sound much like low oil pressure to me. It sounds more like a rod bearing.
I'm no expert. Just going by sounds I have come to know.
Good luck with your fix.
