Thanks for your response...
what my problem is the engine, a 454 from a 81 pick-up by 240 horses if I do not error while a 454 chevelle actually 450 ... I wish I had a little more power

LS 6 454 had 450 hp and and a LS5 had 360 hp in Chevelles in 1970, but in 72 the only 454 engine available was an LS5 and was tune down to 270hp. But even though the motor is out of an 81, is it rebuilt?. If so you may have more HP then you think. Any plans for paint and interior?

Ray

I do not know if the engine was rebuilt. but we already see the Edelbrock intake pipe ... do you think this Chevelle is a good case and someone knows it "Harwell Motors" Is this a good garage?

Any plans for paint and interior? I don't understand the question,
sorry i don't understand english very well...
but i have a pic of the tag trim:

Hello PSYCHO6, Welcome to the site.

Car looks nice. I like the red with white interior. Love the pictures.

The question from Ray was do you plan to repaint the car ? Do you plan to do anything to the interior.

Yes i want to repaint this car but i need to save money before a complete restoration...

Looks like the paint might look a lot better with a good buffing with some medium then fine cut compound. Welcome to the site, car looks good overall! I agree with Ms Grumpy, love the white interior with red paint.

Hi PSYCHO welcome and enjoy your new car! Waving
