Final Burnout with the V6
Here is a video of the van doing the last burnout with the 4.3 in it. It was a reliable motor. This post is just to promote the V8 swap that I am documenting over in the V8 fourm.
Enjoy

Vance,
You could hook up a line lock that would lock-up the front brakes only for burnouts.But I have heard Astro's trannies don't like that kind of heat too much.

Re: Final Burnout with the V6
i did those in my driveway for a year straight.... took a day to get the van to start and stay running... but it was worth it now my van is scrapped! learn something from this experience... if your van cant handle burnouts, make it more powerful ;)
