On the street the 409’s were turds as they came detuned they came with double heads gaskets to lower compression and those boat anchor pistons

The 62 Bubble Top was a nice looking car whether it had a 409 or a 327. i think NHRA lowered the 300 HP to now 265 hp for 1962. Cars only not the Corvette. So that might help and set the suspension up like a G-Body so it don't twist and it might work. Kenney Kelley

Would the 327/300 have been available in the 65 Nova? That might have been a real land based missile.

Yes! Never saw one though..Would have been a rocket alright.
However, @ 265 for Stock, I'd take the 4 GC version @ 241.

I have seen four in my lifetime. Two on the streets of Little Rock '65-'68, one at Lakeland in Memphis in 1971 and a match race between a 300 hp '65 Chevy II and a 271 high perf '65 Mustang at Ozark, MO in 1966. I was too young to have any detailed memories. Other than the Chevy II spanked the Mustang pretty hard. It was a dealership put on.

The only difference between the 250 horse and the 300 horse is the intake and the carb in '65. Now, the #579 intake is accepted on the 283/220 horse, if it is on the 327/250, then, the only difference is the carb. It might be a real easy way to have a couple classes covered. It would be easy horsepower to just switch carbs.

On the 65 Nova 250 hp 327 vs the 300 hp what do you think the afb is worth over the 4 jet? 2 tenths?
