How many quarts of transmission fluid does a 305 Chevy motor take?

Seriously? A 305 Chevy motor does not take "transmission fluid"! The transmission takes transmission fluid, and the motor takes oil. The 305 should hold 5 quarts of oil I believe. As for the transmission, I believe that all depends on what transmission you have. Seriously? A 305 Chevy motor does not take "transmission fluid"!

What would happen if you put transmission fluid into the oil location?

It depends on how much you put in. If only a few drops, there will be little effect.Check the oil level and top off with motor oil if needed.If you used transmission fluid in an oil change, this would be very bad for the engine. Tranny fluid does not have the same protective properties that is required of motor oil and you risk engine seizure.If you used transmission fluid in an oil change do not drive it until the fluid has been flushed from the oil system with lots of fresh oil
