van motors
Hey guys I have access to a couple van motors at the junk yard here for 850 bucks. Would it be worth it? Does everything swap over and is the same as s/d parts? I know the turbo is non wastegated. Would it be worth it, and what else could I sell off them?

Couple hundred bucks for the turbo. 25-50$ per injector as cores. Spare block is not a bad idea even though I hate the thought of needing one. Never know who you might help out! Really need to know what years they are. 99 and newer is good and 99-00 is better. They have the forged rods as opposed to the pmr's.

Right there are 3. One is a 96 obs, and one was a 99 and 00 I believe. I will have to go back there. What do you think? Worth it to pick one up? I was gonna maybe use the turbo to convert to a late 99 set up, send in my ab cores and ads from the van for some Casserly stage 1 remans. Also the hpop or anything on top. What do you think?

Not sure on milage gotta look. If I kept it to reuse it I would rebuild it anyway before putting it in. Im in Illinois. Would you put the van turbo on your truck now you are saying?

Yes I would use the van turbo but first I would rebuild it. I think you can rebuild one for under $100 bucks and you need an adapter to fit the truck dp and it's like $90 from clay at riffraff!

Alright I might look in to getting one. I was just thinking about running the van turbo so I can get the late 99 setup. And would the van turbo compliment the stage one injectors?

Well I'm not sure how exactly it all works but I know a few guys running van turbo and hybrids so it should help. I think if you just put a van turbo on a stock truck it would have a slow spool up but with a chip and upgraded sticks to get some fuel rolling through there it would work great. The van turbo works well for curring surge but like I said it spools up a lil slower. Someone else should give some more experienced advice!!

I am hoping so. I might decide to buy one and see what I can do with it. Depends what price I get them for. I think the vans were hit in the front motor might be shot for all I know. I have to take a better look. Just seeing if it would be worth buying just for the turbo inj hpop and what not. Thanks for the advice might send ya pm if I got any questions
