Don't know to much about transmissions but I have a 83 cutlass that I'm wanting to use as a daily driver. The engine is a 305. What transmission would be best to use to get as much miles per gallon as I can get? I've been lookin at a 350 turbo and a 700r4

believe the 700r4 has over drive so that would be best for gas

They didn't all come with the overdrive... and yeah the r4 has the overdrive so better for gas mileage as the turbo 350 has 3 speeds and harder on gas

All I know is that its a 3 speed tranny an I'm kind of sure that doesn't have overdrive on it

How sure are you that it's a 305? Because a 700-r4 wont bolt up to a olds engine.
