i had to put everything on hold for a while "My cats got sick, Vet, you know ..." so it had to put everything on hold for a little bit then ordering parts was a joke as buying new parts would of cost me an arm and a leg with the brokerage fee, so i went with plan B. Parts are 99% here and ...

Great post my man and your van is looking good, great job on your work you showed earlier a set of Shackles which were similar to the one i just received today as i want to lift my van for another 2" but the box says "LOWERING KIT" I am pretty sure i can lift it or is it unsafe to go ...

Not only that i am doing the motor Swap, but i have finally got my Spacers to give my van a 2" lift, more are coming in August.
All new suspension and steering.

looking forward to take that van apart about a week left. ;), YAY!

I am soon going to take my bad girl apart for a V8 swap next month and in the process of doing so, i will lift that bad girl at an extra 2" lift. now my question is, is there differential that could fit in my astro van without changing my rim "same bolt pattern" like a Jimmy? Camaro? ...

lol, hoping that it will start the first time. LOL i don't want to be embaraced by cursing like there is no tomorrow to figure out why it ain't startting, but i can cheat i guess

Also picked up a Close to "NEW" tranny for the van. picked up at power House in Cumberland for 450 bux.
Tranny has about 2,500 km on it. beats from having my other one Rebuild.

Will soon start to take the van apart and do the swap. Dying to hear the motor going.

Pretty neet job as i might have to go that route as i am having some issues to order the part for my lift kit, so i will take your ideas.

Now how did you manage to fix the Steering Shaft? did you had extended or took it off from another truck? how did you got around that area?

I did the same thing in my van as the regular bulbs that lits the interior wasn't as bright. So i bought the Squared board LED and used some RTV sealant to hold them on the original lens and they are really bright. Love it. Keep on the good work Here's a sneak peak of what I've been experimenting wi...

The only other issue that i have with this conversion is also to re-route my PCV valve and the other line that goes in the TBI system and might have to extend my oil filler neck, SO if you have any ideas to get around it? I am open for suggestions. Just because the new Valve cover is and totally is ...
