After all the great advice you guys gave me I am in the process of breaking out the concrete. Let me tell you this much, it is 5 inches thick and full of stones. This is not a quick and easy task. My hats off to you guys who do this stuff for a living. As for the previous posts harrassing everyone, I hope you know I was trying to have some fun. Now it's down to business.

I bought a 7amp hammer drill to go along with my air chisel and I'm about 1/2 way there now. The existing drain is a floor drain and it appears to be all cast iron pipe, there is no vent piping that I am aware of. I will break out the concrete around the drain opening as well and cut the pipe off so I can put whatever you professionals tell me I need to use to finish piping this up. I will put a p-trap under the shower drain but not sure what to use to connect to the cast iron pipe. Do I get a pvc elbow or a rubber flexible elbow? Do I concrete back over this thing or ....?

tools?

Those two tools are like going into a gunfight with a knife. They are completely inadequate for the task at hand. A 7 amp drill is like a tack hammer, you need at least 12 amps and maybe more, but even more important is the striking force.
