The Project Havoc....

[Slammed66]

Truck updates???????????????????????

Nice pad buddy!!!! I'm diggin the new crew too!!!!

[nuke1]

I wish there was some kind of updates. But I got nothing. I have been pricing out what it will cost to fix the engine and rebuild the trans. I am looking at around a couple grand. Because the engine was fully balanced I am having trouble just putting one slug into it. So she may get all new slugs. Bearings. Rings. And possibly a mutha thumper cam. I currently have the xe274 in it. And was looking at a Comp Cams Big Mutha Thumpr 295TH7. Anyone have any experience with one of these. Decent?? Loose power?? And then a 3 stall and a built trans. I was gonna do a ls swap with a 6.0 or 5.3 I have. But a wise friend told me just to fix these for now because I do have other plans now for havoc but I have to acquire some funds. With the new house that may take a bit. So we will see. And thanks. The shack is nice and I like the new whip. Lol

Or my other option is a xe284h cam. I like the 274. But it falls on its face at about 5800. I want more. Hehe

So over the last 4 days I went to my friends acreage where Havoc has been for quite some time, snowblowed a path and drug her out of hibernation, she sat resting by her sibling the chevelle shell for a while, brough her home and put her in a permanent home for a while. Today I needed some tome and the kids played in the front yard while i took off the hood and a few other things. Just to start yanking the engine out. I am currently having a ballte with myself right now tho. I want to tear Her don to the skivvies so bad and start fresh, take the next year or two and actually do her how I want to. Finish her correctly. But on the other hand I currently have too many things on the go to actually afford any time to doing her. wants and needs. darn it.

It'd be hard to tear it all down because then you know the chances of driving it are slim for a while. I regret ripping my 40 Ford apart bad now that it isn't freezin and snowing.

[RRC]

I vote to get it running again....and while tour driving the wheels off it collect all the parts you want,so when you tear it apart you have a stack of parts to through at it. i
It sucks waiting for parts to show up.

Congrats on getting the truck to his new home.

You are right. I have thought about it. I believe I should just get it running right now and enjoy it. When I have more time I will tear into her. I just am currently getting a price on some engine parts for the sbc. And also a ls. See which is cheaper route to go right now.

YUP! that is gonna be the new plan. However it may evolve a little more than what she is right now. We will see.

Thanks dude!!! It feels soooo good opening the garage door and seeing havoc inside and at my house. I just can't describe it. And yes I have sat in her and made vroom vroom noises already. Lol

[mcbassin]

Ready for an update James......

[nuke1]

Ok. Fair enough. She is still sitting. But yesterday I may have gotten something to motivate the movement of her. A Merlin V big block. Buddy of mine gave me the engine. Heads are all redone, ported polished. Springs. Has a voodoo cam in it. I need a intake for it. Probe pistons. Headers. However I have to put a crank in it. Which I have!!! So maybe in a couple months she will be alive!!!!!! So excited.

Just finishing up a Chevelle for a guy. Be done next week. Then I bought a 07 aprilia. Rsv1000. That was laid down. Redoing it right now and I will probably sell it. Even tho I would like to keep it. Plus I have a Harley that has to be painted in the next couple of weeks. Phew!!

Nice Pictures?

[nuke1]

I will get some. The engine is about 5 hours away. So I have to get there to get it

[jlsanborn]

A couple shots of the Chevelle and the bike would suffice until you go get the Merlin

[nuke1]

Chevelle interior. So far. Doing a interior and stereo system in the car. Well to be truthful it is a Malibu SS.

[nuke1]

My aprilia when I got it. Nice shape

Dam brother that looks fast sitting still

[nuke1]

Current state of repair. I am repairing all the plastics. Repainting everything. General maintence. And cleaning her up nicely.

[jlsanborn]

Thaks for the pics James! We'll wanna see that bike when you're done too

[watahyahknow]

nice from wat i heared those merlin block where the dogs cahoona's before the dart bare blocks came to the market
block could eazily handle watever you trow at it as long as the crank doesnt shatter

might want to check if its one of the raised cam blocks you need some different stuff for that

[mcbassin]

anything new on the truck?

[nuke1]

Hey guys, so no news on the truck, she wil be sitting for a while now, I have other things to get done. Maybe next year I can get to her. there is a plan, and it involves way too much stuff, and a little bit of parting out havoc, so we will see how that goes. as for some pics, here you go: first is the aprilia that I finished, plus another bike i got, a 05 gixxer 750, and finally a few of the 65 chevelle that I just finished the interior on and the stereo.

[nuke1]

The 65 chevele SS. guy has not driven it in over 8 years, parked in a shed. had it pinted the dark blue. not my fav, but no my car either. redid the interior 100% stock. Put a large stero system in it that totally runs off of your phone, so you can not see any thing.

[watahyahknow]

nicely done

[nuke1]

Custom painted emblems on the bike!! No decals for this guy, Lexus tri stage white, House of kolor tru blue pearl and a toyota grey color.
