It was running terrible the engine had no ***** whatsoever and was on the verge of failure the block was getting very very very thin due to rust and an exhaust valve cracked inside the engine as well. Can't remember which cylinder though

Yeah the less money to spend the better, but people can be very cruel and rude.

Yeah sadly it's their for the holidays at my godfathers shop in New Jersey. I'm hoping he can work on it before New years because the inspection for it expires here in PA in January so might have to go pick it up with my trailer and my Cummins if he isn't able to fix it before then. Don't want to get pulled over.
