New "oem shortblock" probable spun bearing with less then 10 miles on the motor :/

Yeah, If it is only a lifter then at least thats an easy fix.

What about a bad wrist pin ? A lifter will be more of a tick that is easy to describe or diagnose. You said its more of a whirling sound, could it be a exhaust or intake leak ?

Did you check the timing belt? Maybe your timing slipped, Maybe valve damage?

I havent checked the timing to see if the belt could have slipped at all. That'll be part of this weekends project. I'll have a look see at the pistons and connecting rods to see if anything looks messed up
