How to test 5.7 hemi?

So I was able to buy a 5.7 hemi few weeks ago for $200. Guy said it was replaced cuz it ticked. No computer no harness.

I can't put it in the dart till I get the alteration.

Gonna cost me $2000 for a pc and harness and everything from autohotwire needed to make it run.

Is there any other way to check it?
1. Outside the car
2. Without harness or pc? Ha I know that sound rediculous

Btw it does turn over w a breaker bar on crank.

I just wanna know how bad this "tick" is
