I'm done

you are ready to dump the car over the brakes? try spending thousands on a new motor only to have it lose oil pressure and spin every cam bearing or melt the main bearings, or having to pull the drivetrain out 3 or 4 times because it was put together with mismatched parts or simply didnt work like it was supposed to. what about having to replace the entire dash harness because something melted and caught fire ? the brake systems are so basic in these old cars. stop the bitching and get out there and figure it out. you did all the rest yourself , right?
