If it was me as I am not a wrenchbender and if I bought that car for say $5000 and found an engine for $5000(risky!) and then had it installed then my outlay would be in the teens $$$$. Instead if I bought a running one I could have it for less particularly the ones with 2.5l engines.

Do you want to go through all that trouble to make that engine right even if you do it yourself? Actually $5500 is too much for as they call it a roller. Probably $2-3k would be more realistic.
