[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3748470, member: 15054"] That Monza had gear multiplication and a lighter vehicle to make it a runner. But tag on another 2000 lbs to it and start off in second gear and skip to 4th and you will see how a chevy truck with a 305 would feel. My ex brother-in -law had an 85 short bed chevy with the 305 4 barrel and TH 350 trans. Computer controlled 4 barrel and feed back distributor. I put an early Q jet on it and rewired the distributor and put a quick curve in it and that truck went from very soggy would not spin a wheel to a tire frying beast. Huge difference and he bought that truck new and told me it was not faster and getting better MPG. It was around 1992 or 1993 when i tweaked it for him. He loved the added power so much he told me his friend Nick Percival was going to stick a 350 into it for him. I told him do not go stock and make sure you get that carb and distributor back or it will be slower than this 305 and get less MPG. Well the distributor I modded and the carb were both missing but he got his 350" and all the tubes of red silicone to go with it. Red silicone on intake gaskets, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets and transmission pan gasket. This thing leaked more oil than it used. Ruined his driveway and 2 years of fighting it and the guy that did it he finally sold it off and got a newer truck and loved it. Those 305 engines worked well in light things when tuned. [/QUOTE]
