Was looking at HP for a Chevelle with a 350/300.
NHRA lists it at 275...mine is at 290hp Bob Benders craftiness got his 350/255 69 wagon set at 263 hp..! My car could run N/SA with weight.. Asked NHRA to set mine the same and they said NO ! |

Your first mistake was asking you know who, anything. Full size 69 Chevys all carry the same ratings. 263 in Stock, automatic.

Looking at the Sedan and 4 door they get 350/255 listed at 275hp. Bob’s wagons 263 hp same engine. 1968 427/390 corvette was at 371 now 366....but not others. Just interesting how identical engines in the cars do not receive the same rating. Last edited by Dan Fahey; 04-16-2019 at 07:24 AM. |

Just when you think they can't be more ridiculous out there. I don't recall just station wagons having a different ,lowered rating before this one. The 66 full size just got 3 hp off across the board, as it always has been .. Meaning the specific body style being grouped together ..not just certain models of that group. I'm sure Dwight believes this to be true, also.
