My old van is running great but I'm looking into the future.
The motor will need replacing and it would be nice if the 210hp could be boosted.
I pull a camper and need alittle more pull.
I've looked around the net for replacement engines and I've had no luck.
If I find one, For some reason it says it won't fit in my van.
What's up with that?

Does anyone have a idea of where to find crate engines and other items for this van?
Thanks

 

What's your budget?
Crate engines probably about $1500-$2000 or more.
plus your labor plus your future failures of a 25year old vehicle.

Go get you a used van for $3-4000 with a 5.4 V8.

 

If your van has the 5.8L, then any 351W will fit. You'll just have to mount your accessories ( manifolds, mounts, oil pan, alt., PS pump, etc. ) onto it. The 351W long blocks are pretty much all the same except for the camshaft types ( flat tappet or roller ) .

 

That's what I thought.
I know the intake can't get to tall because of the clearance in the van.

 

The stock truck/van EFI intake is pretty tall. Are you sticking with EFI or going to a carb set up?
