Chevy 327 300 hp

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?

I've got a pretty much all original 1965 327/300hp motor intake to pan $600

So i have to respond to this . I am a sucker for cars that i have actually owned . But i owned a new , well 6mo. old 62 impala SS. 327-300Hp
4spd. 4:11 posi It had the big AFB carb on an Aluminum manifold ,from the factory.With a set of atlas Bucron tires (cadillac-size) i beat every 409 425 i raced. on the street. And i was only a Sr in high school. Dont know if there were other 300horse cars that had the Al intake but mine did.

Not to squelch a good thread, but who was tuning the 409's back then? I had a very stock 409/425 horse that was balanced, OEM replacement cam,correct carbs F&R, 4:88 gears, a Muncie wide ratio 4 speed, fender well headers' one piece drive shaft,10 inch by 29.5" slicks, and it would go 12.70's very reliably, 12.66 on one occasion.
I would leave about six grand and shift at 5300. RPMing the motor actually slowed the car down because the torque curve of that motor was pretty low RPM. We tried a Powerglide with a stocker converter and it picked up about half a second. It wasn't the ultimate horsepower motor, but it ran pretty good for what it was.
