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> 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...
