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 ?

Update:

Took a look at the rod bearings and they look fine, so there are no spun bearings in the motor. I'm starting to wonder if it was a bad lifter that was making noise because the bottom end is solid looking. I'll hopefully get to work on it more this weekend so I'll know more then

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
