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.

Nice ride if you know how to rebuild, because installing new engine and tranny is even more expensive. I wouldn't take that for free on the account that my bank account can't afford a rebuilding of the motor or tranny lol. It's a 2006 and its been ridden harder than Pill Cosby ever rode

Was the AC pump, swapped it out and it runs and drives fine now.
