That engine retains its original 275hp rating... no "factor."

At 2945 pounds shipping weight for a GT 2 door HT (no post cars/sedans listed) its natural class would be SS/I, coming in at 10.71 pounds per hp.

It's also listed as a convertible at 3,055 pounds (shipping wt.), with a pounds-per-hp power-to-weight ratio of 11.11, putting it in the top of SS/J. Good luck finding a '66 GT Convertible... lol!

Seems like the good deal (if there is one) for 273's in Stock would be the recently de-factored 235hp 273, reduced to only 210 hp.

Division 6's Angela Bushmaker (daughter of Bill Bushmaker of "Willy B"-car fame) has her '65 235 hp '65 Valiant running 12.0's in K/SA. Not bad for a car that hasn't had a lot of time for extensive r & d, I think.
