What Stock Class would a 1965 Malibu Wagon with a 327 4bbl and 4-speed be in ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Glenn, Which 327? There are 3 different ones.
Looks like H/Stock to M/Stock

Looks like 327/300hp or 327/350hp

Take that back. I found the 327/250 also.

I would not have guessed a 350 HP 327 engine being a option in a 65 wagon.

So what class would a 250 HP fall into?

A 300 HP ?

A 350 HP ?

Thank you for all your assistance.

Looks like the 250 hp is a natural L car
300 hp is a J car
350 hp is a I car
But in each situation you can take weight out to make the next higher class or
Add weight to make it 1 class lower than its natural class.
So you now have 3 classes it will fit in with each different HP motor.
If it’s a natural J car, you can run I J or K.

Put the car on some scales and see what the weight it is now. Find the easy stuff first to make minimums and go from there. Tom
