what to do next

hi, i bought a 94 w/ 99k original motor last week. so far i've

*replaced the fuel pulsation damper and fuel hoses due to leaks
* replaced both primary injectors due to leaks
* partial replacement and tie-offs of vacuum line/hose
*replaced lower intake manifold gasket

my mechanic also noticed the following:

* radiator still original, tank may split
* engine leaks oil from stationary gear oring and oil pan
* air pump is still original
* main muffler rusted from inside
* trans make more bearing noise than normal
* engine water seals may fail
* precat partially restricted
* all coolant hoses are original
* turbos housing have good size cracks

he recommended not doing anything engine related since i'll have to get a new one soon. the alignment is also off.

any comments? what should i do next?

thanks
