I am considering the acquisition of a C175a with a runout engine

Does the engine mount have to be replaced? *I am guessing
the airframe is just a C172 airframe. *Am I wrong? *Does the
cowling have to be replaced? *I assume the prop has to be
replaced (I would not want to have the prop repitched; I
don't like the idea of cold-twisting prop-type aluminum).
It is my understanding that the GO-300 engine TBO is 1200
hours, because of its higher RPMs; is that correct?
The TBO of the GO 300 is probably defined by the reduction gearing
rather than the rated RPM.
