Be lucky to hit 66 MPH with 3.55 gears and 235/70's. Say about mid to high 17's.

Where you getting the 175 hp figure from for a 305? Most likely that is a net figure at the rear tires and no wonder it is faster. The Dak is 175 at the engine. Most 305 engine put out well more than 200 hp at the crank easily.

just because two totally different engines make the same peak horsepower, doesnt mean that they should run the same e.t. or trap speed. Besides the amount of torque the V8 has over the six, there is the issue of power curve... when does the motor make its peak power? how long is the power curve straight... and so on...

I think low 17's are possible if I manually shift it. I think I just have to find out. 1/4 track about 1 hour way though.
The 305's were rated at 165. Kinda low because I got mine at least 200+ at the block and ~170 at the rear wheels. Best time of 17.1? at 79.98 MPH in a 1/2 ton C10.

Wow!! 15's in a stock v6! impressive, but kinda hard to believe because my 92 auto was 17.1 and my friend's 98 auto was 18.5 in the quarter. Both are automatics.
