Pavillions 03 08 2014-Debut of Taylor's Chevelle!

[Xplantdad]

Today was the big day that Taylor (my nephew) has been waiting for....If you remember <span style="color: #CC0000">THIS</span> (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/417456/1) post from 2010 (LOL)...the engine is done and in the car. Mark Jones built the engine and our good buddy Shaun Price (Galveston) (so amazing at what he does!) did the install and a LOT of other &quot;stuff&quot;.

The engine is a now a 468 with right at 468 horsepower and 530 ft lbs of torque...running on the stock cast iron manifold and a Chevrolet Quadrajet (meant to be a kind of sleeper appearing)with Hedman ceramic coated headers. That's mated to a custom built 700R4 transmission. The rebuilt 12 bolt posi is out back. It has the exhaust cutouts that we scored from Albert Galdi - and a Pypes exhaust system on it as well.


Enjoy the pics...and the video. Rick will add his Pavilions pics on to this post, too!


Here's the car at Shaun's waiting for the transplant...and the engine compartment cleaned...

And then today-at Pavillions...Let's just say that Taylor is ecstatic. I asked him to give me one word that described the feeling he had. &quot;INTOXICATING&quot; is what he came up with <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

We spent the day with Fred Ragla...and Rick...and met up with most of the Pavilions regulars...including Shaun!

Here are the pics that I have....Some of the DETAIL that Shaun puts into everything that he does...

I'm still &quot;fitting&quot; the new driver's side inner fender on my Chevelle, so I ended up driving the Camaro topless to the cruise. I'll start with the A bodies.

I'm digging Taylors Chevelle! The cut out switch in the lighter location is a great idea...needs to say &quot;Louder&quot; not &quot;Lighter&quot; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

I can picture that car with the PO1 full wheel covers and whitewalls....sleeper!

Hmmm...good idea <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Steve-the car actually came with the rims and poverty caps...which he still has. So...that may be a change as well <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Bruce, love Taylor's '70. Sounds tough too! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif

Bruce I had the pleasure of helping Mark put Taylor's motor on the Dyno. I watched him make pulls on it and it sounds great . I'm sure Taylor will love it . Mark builds all my motors and they kick a$$.

[markjohnson]

I really like the Chevelle. I like the way the motor looks, the red interior and even the flat hood. I also agree that it really needs dog dish'ed!

And Dan....I hear ya! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Thanks Damien and Dave!

[Bill Pritchard]

Cool....I'm very glad to see that he did not decide to go the 'SS clone' route.

[L78M22Rag]

I like the steering column patina too. Dan gets it!

I'm all for stock looking wheels. For a 1970 Chevelle nothing would look more like a sleeper than full wheel covers. Dog dish caps are always great too.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Very cool 70. LIKE

The first car/newly finished car excitement is contagious. We have all been there and wish we could go back and soak it in all over again.

Taylor, You did a great job on that car. BBBenny <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

An update to Taylor's Chevelle. He took it on an extended drive to Tucson (and back) a few days ago and the car averaged 18.3 miles per gallon <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif The engine temps stayed cool as well.

Nothing better than a reliable 470 HP big block that gets good MPG <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif
