Default enigine knock ?

hey whats up everyone ... i have a question for you guys to see if you guys can help me... my friend was driving his 98 ss back from work and he exits off the freeway and he comes up to a light and turns down his radio then the light turns green and as he is driving off he hears a loud knocking noise coming from the engine and he said he could feel ip on the clutch pedal so he pulls into a parking lot and puts it in nuetral and the car died on him.... some people tell hit it might be his oil pump that went out but not sure... what do you guys think it is?

Did the car start up after it died? Turn over at all?

The Ls1 oil pump doesnt just go out... At least ive never heard of.

if you ever tear into the crank case you will know what im talking about.

Could be a number of things. Any smoke? Fishy smell?

Details please...
