Well, I ended up wiring 1 outlet in the shop for temporary use. I didn't feel like being on a ladder all day, so I sat on my backside all day Saturday and watched it pour rain outside.
I did get some motivation yesterday afternoon and pulled everything off the engine/trans combo that I had time to do. Ended up with 6 broken exhaust manifold bolts. Four came out easy, 1 took heat, and I had to completely drill 1 out. A left handed drill bit and an easy out wouldn't budge it. I still need to get the clutch fan pulled off, ran out of gas yesterday. Trying to decide on a paint color for the engine, and I keep going back to painting it in a Pontiac hue, since GMC utilized their V8's for a few years. I'm starting to back out on the cam change also. I want reliable and simple on this dude. Granted the cam choice I picked isn't exactly wild, I think I'll change the timing chain and oil pump, paint it, and call it a day.
