What kind of question is this? "Strong motor", duh, run it. For a defenition of strong you need compression #s and other info., but anyway.

I don't see a reason to replace the motor if it's running fine. However, with 157k miles, I wouldn't rule out needing a rebuild somewhat soon. Who knows how the previous owner(s) treated it.

Do a compression test and go from there.
