The Damn weather is messin' with me. Gonna put up a tarp garage with a 3/4" plywood floor this weekend. I've already built up a dirt pad to stave off water puddles. Have a torpedo heater to ward off the cold. I'll disconnect everthing while it's in the "garage", pull the "Starship" out long enough to pull the 350, then shove 'er back in to do the clean up of the engine compartment. The 350 will go into the storage container and set next to the 454. This is going to be a true "Labor Of Love". I normally wouldn't do this during the winter months, (not having a real garage), but I want to be ready for a "Mission" in the "Starship" next spring.
On a scale of 1 to 10, for excitement level, I'm at about a 15!!!

I'll loan you one of my (count them) eight garage slots in the new house.
I found a house that my wife loves, with a 3-bay double deep, and a 2-bay single-deep garage (both attached, one heated). God I love this woman!Hmmm... room for eight cars in the garages, and I just installed the Hot Rod Air conversion in the middle of the driveway. Maybe I'm not as smart as I thought I was.

Thanks for the offer Bill. West (by God) Viginia is just a little too far from Nevada to travel every day. My wife is from there, and I'd love to take back to see her old home, Harrisville and Cairo.
