Default 88 5.0 mustang bad harmonic balancer or blown motor???

hey guys this is my fist post so bare with me if i did it wrong but back to my question i have an 88 5.0 mustang on the ride to work to day the motor was very shakey at idle and ran like crap the whole ride there when i went to start it to go home it started knocking really bad. it grew a croud it was so loud. i noticed that the seal broke on my harmonic balacer and the balancer was in two peices is it pointless to change the balancer did i blow my motor? or is it just knocking cause the wait is off the balancer. would greatly apriciate any response!!!!

Could be just the balancer, hard to tell without looking at it.
