Man I hate to break it to you...but that's how it goes. Stuff breaks on old cars. You think if you get a 89,90, fox 5.0 nothing is going to break? Shi* , my mustang was mint, and all sorts of things went wrong, to name a few: clutch, tranny, water pump, radiator, power steering pump, alternator, brakes, mounts, bushings, door locks, window motors, heater core, air conditioning, moon roof seals, fuel relay, etc...etc.. I could keep going on for a while, but I won't. All the things that I just named cost me thousands and thousand of dollars to fix. It sucks when things break, but ohh it's worth every penny of those aluminum heads, nitrous refills, and suspension work, roll cage, etc... when they don't. That's what mod'ing, and being a car enthusiast is all about. You just have to ask yourself, how far do you want to go, and what is your budget. You have to step back and say "my car is over 10 years old and things are going to break." if you have too small of a budget, do what it takes to get the money to mod and run 10's.(legally)Pick up a 2nd job, or work more. The money is there if you want it, you just gotta earn it.
