Thumbs up New engine coming...

Well, I found a company that sells remanufactured engines online (A two Z engines) I am getting a remanufactured 4.2 V6 for $1800.00. Not a bad deal. Anyways, I will pretty much be doing the R&I myself. I have never done one on this van before so I was wondering if anyone has and if there are any tricks or special things I should know? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and I will keep you all posted, Kirk

No expereince with the Foird Vans but, I helped a friend install a 4.3 V-6 in his Ch_vy van. We had to take out the radiator/condensor and radiator support to get that motor out. when we put it in we rolled it under the van and then lowered the van and used the engine hoist to lift the engine up.
