The Chevy MK II 427 "Mystery Engine" was never developed for Drag Racing. It was strictly for NASCAR stock car racing and premiered at Daytona 1963. Drag racers had the 427 Z11 - the engine created from the MK I 409.

Just a bit of trivia: the MK II 427 was the first Chevy engine to use a Holley carb as it's float design was superior to that of the Carter AFB, what Chevy was using on all of it's engines with a 4 BBL carb.

They never really had much success in Nascar did they? Drag racing they held their own though.
