Well, Crustine had her 1st "long haul" today. Went and picked up a load of manure at a friend's house...and drove home the long way. Bout a 15 mile round trip, and Man, That 305E v6 is a torque monster. I hauled a bigger load than in the pictures above...and that 305 pulls them hills without a sweat. People really need to see and realize how good these engines are. A 350 couldn't pull a hill like I was able to I Know that for a fact. I'm surprised at this engine. People call these things boat anchors and They're Nuts. My friend's drive way has a steep grade right at the end and..heck...I pretty much Idled up it in 1st(Idle set a 700)...pulled out and off we went...not a super high rever but you can feel that torque...needless to say...going 50 up a hill in 4th is a piece of cake. Never floored it...nothin. Awesome engine. I'm happy with this ol girl. Saw a couple other chevy's along the way. Great day hauling crap.
