Is the car stock now? Has the motor, tranny, and/or rear been rebuilt yet? With 175k miles, you might want to look into rebuilding them all. It would be a shame to spend $5k on a decent motor only to have the tranny, clutch, or rear blow out on you and have that new motor sitting in a non running car. If you can provide a little history on the car, it might help a little. And welcome to the club
