Question Does this engine sound ok?

My junkyard engine is finally available for pickup! They sent me a video of it running before they took it out of the car.
Does everything sound alright? I can hear a slight rattle, but I think it is normal.

Sounds maybe an exhaust leak, how far away is it, can you go hear run?

At the time I posted this, the engine was already taken from the car and shipped to a closer auto wrecking center for pickup.

It doesn’t sound normal to me, there a whistling whirling noise that isn’t supposed to be there.

Does this indicate something wrong with the block or heads? Everything else will be transplanted from the old car.

I'd get someone to assess it, or figure it out in person. These trucks unfortunately are not for the faint of heart.

Right now the engine is halfway disassembled in my garage, so I am the only person who will be able to assess it.

The mechanics near me hang up the phone as soon as the hear the word Rover.
