Motor oil is a higher viscosity and lower detergent level than tranny fluid. Drain the oil out asap and replace with ATF right away.

To get all of the oil out you'll have to have a complete transmission drain that includes the converter as well. If you just drain the pan you only get about 1/3 or less of the total volume of ATF in there.

FYI If you have sticking valve lifters before you change oil drain a quart out or wait till it's about a quart low. Add ATF to the crankcase but don't drive more than a few hundred miles.

The ATF will loosen a lot of dirt the regular oil usually can't which may unstick the lifters. This is because ATF is so high in detergents.

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"!
