2dogs..i feel your pain on this project. Everything you touch just falls apart.
Let's hope that the bolts in the water jacket are breaking off right at the head...once they are all out/broken & the plate comes off, you might be able to get a vice-grips or something on them to get them out of the block. What type of pentrating oil are you using? The junk at Home Depot may not be good enough..Some folks on this site have decided a 50/50 mix of acetone & ATF might be the best. Once the plate is off, you maybe able to get some of this to work its way into the threads of the broken bolts & come loose without having to drill them out.
