Not sure if you could buy a kit, I doubt it though. It's pretty tough to buy anything for these vans.
Unless you are really attached to the van or the body is super nice, you are probably better off selling it and finding one with the 302 or 351 already. Around here, you can pick one up for under $1000. I've seen them as low as $600.
For example:

If you are really attached to the van, I would still suggest going with a donor van, then you can take what you need... engine mounts, tranny cross member, ? as you are doing the swap.
Good luck.

thank you for your reply.
this is my fathers van with over 150 thousand miles on the I-6.
i was wondering which parts exactly i would need to convert to a 351w.
would it just be engine mounts/transmission crossmember?
this is a mild performance application, and its very likely a manual will be used instead of an AOD.
