Best Christmas Present Ever..

My 92 got totaled last winter in a blizzard, RIP..

The original engine (background) only had 35,000 miles but the FPDM failed and flooded a cylinder, the engine hydro locked and snapped a rod which gouged the cylinder, game over
5R100 transmission mated to an NP271 with 4.10 gears.

No, it's a wheelchair van for upstate New York, Hudson Valley..

The engine is in and sounds lovely, the tires and wheels are together but not yet bolted to the van.
Work on the Van is shut down until after Christmas, more updates in a couple days
