Steve Hook here in Div.7 has a 65 Chevelle 4 door wagon with a 220 horse engine in P/SA. Multiplying the 220 horse engine factor times 16 (the class weight break) gives the cars weight without driver.All those small blocks weigh the same, but check the factored horsepower of the engine.It may be different for the 327/300 than the factory horsepower. Also, check the classification guide to determine if a desired engine combination actually came in that body.As for the 2 door wagon,I'm not sure what the weight was. When I was in high school some 40 years ago, I used to walk home every day and see a 65 2 door wagon parked in the street by a business with 327 emblems on it, and the chrome curved Muncie 4 speed shifter was visible in front of the bench seat. Neat car!!
