I feel for ya man. Sorry to hear bout your string of bad luck. I'm kind of in a similar boat. My wife lost her job, we had to get lawyers involved, my car broke a rocker, my business is splitting of the parent company, and now have had to cut way back. I wanted to fix a lot of stuff but now have to wait. I have been laid off 3 times. It Sux but usually leads to better things. You have the right outlook. It can only go up from here. Good luck man.

I have been laid off twice in the past 10 years and it has led to better jobs each time. Hang in there, prayer, patience, and perseverance will pay off.

well i got the motor today and its in a greasy/rusty looking state and i noticed that the waterpump was missing in action. so i also noticed a little rust on the block in the ports where the water pump flows into the block ... no idea how bad the rust is in block but how bad could it really be ... with rust there is it worth even putting in the car?

I wouldn't worry about rust in the WP holes but like Popo said you might want to pull the heads and have a look. At least the oil pan, valve covers, and spark plugs to get a better idea of the internal condition.
