Looks like the 327 275 has been gifted with HP. (NHRA.com) The 1966 275 is now at 299 HP with OE heads & 304 HP w replacement heads. The 327 300 HP is at 285 w OE heads & 290 W Replacement heads. Might make the 300 a better choice, depending on the differences in the engine combos. If you know the shipping weight of the heavy car you want to use you can use Bill's GT calculator to figure out what classes it will fit. You have to know 3 things to figure the class w/GT calculator. 1. Shipping weight of the car you want to use. You can get the factory shipping weight from the NHRA classification guide.

No Holley with choke horn removed. Carb must be type listed in classification guide for engine & correct bore size. The engine has to be built using the specified parts sizes & types for the HP claimed. You must use the base weight as listed in the classification guide for the body you use. You can't just throw weigh in a car & start out calling it heavy. Hope this helps.
