Those VC gaskets leak a lot sometimes. I have one with 91,000 on it, and it is as bad as yours if not worse. To be honest with you, if you do end up getting that engine running, you will probably have more in it fixing it than what it is worth. Especially if you are planning on doing a swap anyway. Just my $.02.
The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!! My Fleet:
89 L 4spd (Daily Driver(if it isn't broke down)) "Spanky"
-93' L BP swap/e-series, coilovers, RIO front swap, redrilled festy drums, Miata 14" 7 spokes.
-88' Mazda 323 SE, work in progress..
-85' Nissan Sentra 5 spd.
