Rod is knocking....what would you do?

WEll, I bought a ton of **** for my build but now it seems like a rod is knocking in my motor, what shortblock would you get, and I don't need any ideas about 454's or anything, I have somewhat of budget seeing how I just spent 7K-8K on the first round of mods. I have been thinking of 402 or 408 but I bought the TSP 200cc terminator heads and they aren't designed for that bore. I also have a MS3 cam, it should be big enough for most block in my range I think. here is a list of mods I have already.... What would you build?

Tsp 200cc Terminator heads
Tsp MS3 Cam
Tsp Gold Dual Springs
Tsp Moly Pushrods
Tsp Tuning
LS7 lifters
Melling HP/HV Oil Pump
Fast 90mm Intake
TPIS 90mm TB
SVO 42# Injectors "Green tops"
NX Wet Kit 100hp shot w/ purge & heater
85mm Z06 Maf

PCV Catch Can
Haltech Stinger CAI
Kooks SS Long Tubes
Kooks SS X-pipe w/ QTP electric cutouts
B&B Tri-Flow SS Exhaust
Lingenfelter 255lph Fuel Pump w/hotwire harness

If my rod was knocking I would answer it. Maybe it has something important to say.

if that kit is still on sale that is an awesome price and definitely worth looking into.it might need balancing but that is still a great price.
