As a result, it is unlikely that the 305 engine would "adapt" to the three-speed transmission in your 1977 truck, as the engine and transmission were not designed to work together. Additionally, the 305 V8 engine may require modifications to the engine mounts and other components in order to fit properly in the truck, as the 250 inline-six engine is a smaller and lighter engine.
Therefore, it is generally not advisable to attempt to install a 305 V8 engine in a 1977 Chevrolet C/K pickup truck that originally came with a 250 inline-six engine without the proper modifications and parts.
