Find out if the heads are bad. You could always buy them aditionally, but it would be cheaper to get a long block, with the heads, than to buy a short block, and then buy heads.
You're on top of your fluids.
BTW, do yourself a favor and call your mechanic and make sure he keeps your water pump in a separate bucket full of water/coolant while it's off (inbetween engines). The reason for this is because the gaskets/seals inside the pump can dry and/crack, even on a new pump.
Also, Check your private messages. Jim just called me, and thinks he can help you. If it's easier, PM me a number he can call you at. This may be your best bet.
Take care,
