A spun bearing generally has a sharp knock or dull thud sound (depending on whether it's a rod or main bearing), not a grinding sound unless there's no oil pressure (I can't see the engine running if that's the case).

I'd probably look into a new engine or a rebuilt engine. It's likely it's been leaky for a while, and coolant got into the oil resulting in the bearing failure(s).

You sure the trans cooler isn't leaking into the radiator?
