Pure Stock HP Adjustment
IHRA announced a HP adjustment for the 1978 Malibu Wagon with a 327/275 engine.
Now rated at 250 hp in Pure Stock.. Sounds like a great combination. Is someone lurking around in a 1978 Malibu wagon out there? Earlier this year IHRA added the 1987-1995 Mustang 302 Rated at 215/213 for Pure Stock. Lowered it 3 HP for 210 hp. Think they added the new V6 Mustang earlier this year. Need to call Mike Baker !

Re: Pure Stock HP Adjustment
How can a 327 run Pure Stock in a 78 model? Was not available that year.

Re: Pure Stock HP Adjustment
Might be a typographic error - the last year the 275 horsepower 327 was available was 1968, and has been rated @ 270 horsepower since 2001!

Re: Pure Stock HP Adjustment
I'm sure there's an interesting story behind this change, Dan.
I think the engine should be the 175 HP "350", which was factored to 275 HP (!) for Stock. Hopefully we'll see more Malibu 'wagon's now!
