Opinions? I was thinking with a replacement engine I had a starter to worry about not the IMS

That squeal on startup typically indicates failure of the starter - it stays engaged after the engine starts. It'll get worse until it does it every time you start the car. Starters are relatively inexpensive, and easy to change as a DIY.
