custom rebuild dream van

old body man retired -says " going to build one last custom ride, but what ?car truck or van? Same man suddenly loses mobility and picks a retired ford custom conversion van to re build into a different style wheel chair van by necessity - So we start with a rolling hull long wheel base extended high top ford vanwith complete drive train removed early 80's to be able to install old school small block performance ,351 c6 where a 302 auto with od had died a early death parking a good body with a classy interior before they had a chance to ride a winter on salted roads or wear out like most30 yr oldsQuestion-today s regular fuel at the pump need higher compression and or higher lift long or short duration cam,use open or closed chamber heads for max power
