Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon Class
Looks like 327/300hp or 327/350hp
Take that back. I found the 327/250 also. |

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon Class
I would not have guessed a 350 HP 327 engine being a option in a 65 wagon.
So what class would a 250 HP fall into? A 300 HP ? A 350 HP ? Thank you for all your assistance. Glenn

Looks like the 250 hp is a natural L car 300 hp is a J car 350 hp is a I car But in each situation you can take weight out to make the next higher class or Add weight to make it 1 class lower than its natural class. So you now have 3 classes it will fit in with each different HP motor. If it’s a natural J car, you can run I J or K.

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon Class
Put the car on some scales and see what the weight it is now. Find the easy stuff first to make minimums and go from there. Tom
