Expect a long life of awesome enjoyment mate. Quigley's vans can do astounding things leaving most stuck behind.
I have a 5.4L Quigley and despite a lack of torque, I leave most 4x4s behind when driving on soft sand with little need to air down. I think it has to do with the weight distribution or something.
Outstanding machines these things are.
The only strange thing is this. In the USA everyone races everything from tractor trailers to farm tractors and monster trucks. Nobody however, races vans. So the search for performance parts is futile. There is very little out there.
Gasoline vans do need a bit more torque. Lowering the gearing helps and SCT makes a program that helps greatly. K&N makes a filter for some models. Other than that, there is little else anyone can do.
If anyone reading this knows of any performance upgrades available from vans, I am all ears.

Nothing there either but then again I refuse to participate in all this Facebook BS---no offense intended! 
Here's a great link to FTE's photo posting procedures: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...he-forums.html
Looking forward to seeing your new van! I don't own and have no use for any 4x4 but they're still fascinating to me like most motorheads I'm sure.

my work van is a 2010 E350 standard XL with plastic quiet shelves and about 1700lbs of payload since brand new, the 5.4 motor and auto trans with 4.10 gears has WAY MORE LOW END GRUNT than my F350 in my sig. I can stomp on the van and all you feel is the stock tires trying to spin, in the rain or snow forget a half hard stomp from a stop both rear tires just blaze like its a Mustang. I suppose its the weight difference from a stock van to a F350 but the 5.4 and 4.10 gear combo makes me love the power/torque from the 5.4 in the van, not in my F350
