Never found a man who built a shop that within a few years didn't say, "I wish I'd have built it bigger".

But it's awfully nice to get to work on a concrete floor, out of the weather!!!
I should have said I'm building a tool shed! It will be 12x20, possibly 14x20. So far only the concrete work has been done, I had the driveway widened and extended to the back of our property. To keep from having to ask the city to bless my idea, I have to wait 90 days from the time the concrete was poured to start the building. I haven't had much of a place to work since we bought this house in 07. Right now I have to keep most everything in the house, so this will be nice.

The cam is already in the engine and the compression is 10:1. I've already bought the intake, but not the converter. I have a new vac seconday 750 Holley. I've been talked out of that much converter, now plans are for 2600 rpm stall. I haven't bought the converter yet because I don't know what transmission I'll be running. I hate to rebuild the TH350 when I really want an R4 in there, but I'll have to see how the funds go. I may have to run the TH350 for a while. No big deal except that I'd like to be able to take it out of town once in a while.
