Knock knock! is your car slammed to the ground? check your lower oil pan, the pick up might have got dented. Sounds like rod knock to me, park it and pull it and fix it. The crank shouldn't be too fubared right now.... well at the time of the vid.

Did you replace the front and rear main oil seals? Those should be done before the motor goes in. I've seen a lot of those come into the states bad just from sitting and rotting in a yard.

yeah, that motor will be coming out soon. Unless it was a very bad leak, to run out of oil just driving around the block means there wasn't much in there to begin with
