my camaro did the same thing...at first i thought the engine was going...it turned out to be the torque converter on the transmission. which would be good news in your case....way cheaper than buying another engine. take it to a tranny shop they will tell you for sure.
This could also possibly be an oil pump problem. When the van is idling, the oil pressure is very low, but when you increase the speed of the engine, the oil pressure increases,,,,,in your words, "sort of". Needs to be looked at by a good mechanic. If that oil pump quits, you will seize up the engine.

Why does my 98 Honda Civic LX make a knocking sound when I brake The brakes were just replaced and it didn't stop the noise?
I assume that you have rear drum brake. If so, the knocking sound which happens only when apply the brake is more likely cause by an out-of-round drum. Take your car back to the mechanic that installed them. This problem is not bound to go away.

Why does a 350 Chevy small block make knocking sound?
It all depends on what KIND of knocking sound.Some people call it a knocking sound when the engine pings from pre-ignition. If that's what you have, check the knock sensor.A classic knocking sound is typically either worn bearings or piston slap.Piston slap is when there the skirt of the piston is a little small and it "pops" at the bottom of the stroke. Typically that sound goes away once the engine warms up. The small block 350 is notorious for a little piston slap and as long as it goes away once the engine is warmed up piston slap is considered to be in the nuisance category of engine sounds.If it's worn bearings you'll also see some kind of indication of low oil pressure. If THAT'S going on, the engine is "done". You can try a heavier weight oil but if it's knocking constantly that probably won't do much good.Thank You for that Answer about the Bearings and Crankshaft
