When I read this, I got funny visions of Pablo and his friends trying shoehorn a SOHC 4 liter engine into the engine compartment of a butchered Aerostar. Pablo, do you have pictures of this effort you can show?

Someday, when the drive train in my Aerostar dies, I might want to try to install a 5.0 v8. I've seen a couple of examples already, so it must be possible without too much trouble.
