here is the most visible Carnage pic.... Reaction shell.... Hill Billy version (toothless!) Also alot of play in the bushings, the splines on another part has its teeth are about stripped (not sure what its call)... Ohh and the Chain has about an inch of slack/play in it. I cant complain to much, lol its lasted me 150,000 Miles and only double the original Power/Torque

Getting a few up grades.... hardend parts, Raybestos Stage 1 Clutches, Higher stall converter, Trans Go shift kit, Red Stripe Vac. Actuator module... gunna be a bit pricy but should hold together pretty well.. if it fails again soon, she is getting a 65-E HD

I'm guessing the gears, I know i love my 3.29's. Posted Image

Besides, Tall gears on a DOHC would = death. Posted Image

IIRC the 3.4 DOHC trans got at least 3.43's, Maybe smaller.

it is more hassle and down time swapping to the 65... the 60 has held up great for me, most guys say they lose their 60's before or at 100,000 miles... now with better clutches, hardend parts and other upgrades i should be good to go.
