Obviously the 3 speeds can't handle the heavier rims and once you move the v6 to pull that out it's not worth $ putting back in, since you would probably end up building a 4 speed trans. Nobody rebuild the metric trans but the turbo350 or th350 is worth rebuilding if you know someone, or how to do it yourself. If you do rebuild a 3 speed consider using the B&M kit w/ the gate shifter so that your trans doesn't shift up/down in traffic all the time (stay in 1 or 2 when it's traffic) that could save you a lot of miles before have to rebuild it again next time
