Those with the 305 probably get even the same Question look! I have never seen a boat anchor pull the kind of weight that these V-6's can handle. I honestly don't believe there is a limit. I haven't hooked up to anything yet that my 351 couldn't handle. Well you's know!
donrm Cinti. Oh 1966 GMC 351E 8' fleetside. I enjoy the site
Yeah, I know the look.
Worst is the one time I sent the wife to the store for parts for the 305. She came back with 8 plugs, 8 wires, and a cap with 8 connections. She tells me that the clerk insisted it had to be a v8 no matter how many times she said it was a 6.
I went in, got the same clerk, who was an idiot. Older employee heard us talking (clerk was insisting I must be not seeing the other 2) came over to find out what was wrong. After hearing the problem, he took the cap, plug wires and 2 plugs back from me (credit) then got me the right parts.
Of course I am standing there, pissed and filthy...

You want looks though,mention that the v6 came in a 401 and 478 configuration. They'll look at you like you are nuts!
