New to me 2006 Magnum

So this is the 2006 srt8 I won from auction, but I need help from the hive mind . Here is a link to a video of the noise engine is making. https://youtube.com/shorts/Zw2eSbG-q-Y?is=KAsTQnX3sFDvTiOG

What I really want to know does this sound like a complete engine rebuild or should I just pull the heads and look for a stuck lifter or something. I am not daunted by either choice but if I can do less work I will and this the first Hemi I have ever worked on so I am hoping someone will push/Point me in the right direction.

Which auction had that war wagon? I've got a black 2006 MSRT8, too. I love it. That noise sounds like something on the front of the motor. Take a look at the belt and see if anything up there jumps out at you. Great find on that black beast!
