Re: The Project Havoc....

Well. Sad day. Thought I would give a small update on havoc. Went to work the other night. Got to work and opened hood to adjust idle a little. Something did not seem right. Instantly the rad cap blows off and she overheats and dies on her own. E-fan controller quite and the fans did not turn on. Overheated to 300 degrees. Not the worst part my carb rod wiggled out and fell into the engine without me knowing. I let her cool down and tried to turn her over. She turned half and turn and the starter snapped in half with a large crunch the engine e stopped. The rod must have fallen into the engine. She seized solid. I can only rock the engine over by hand about a third of a turn. So darn mad and sad right now. 10 grand down the drain. As of right now she is sitting at a friends acreage in his shop waiting for us to yank the engine and see how bad the damage is. I am very sad but oh well. It is what it is. If she is not fixable for cheap then she will become a nice work of art in my basement. Then maybe a boosted 6.0l ls engine!!
