Found some "parts" for the van. I'm throwing in a twist with the SAS.

Vacancy!!!

My Friend who helped me pull the engine took this truck through the JY to put the engine in his bed. He went back for his truck and it was taking him a long time. Finally my phone rang and it was him. He was wedged between two cars and couldn't get out. With a little coaching I was able to back him out of there and redirected him with over a foot of space between him and the cars. :-s

I got it home.

Next step for this part is to take the trany off and rebuild it. Also go over the engine. Pull the plugs and read how each cylinder was working and check a few main and connecting rod bearings. The truck had 171,114 or the clock. This is going to be fun.

I got the whole wiring harness along with the ECM. This is going to be fun.

Wow, didn't realize that you had even posted a swap thread. Shame on me. Hope it goes well for you, looks like it will be a good time man. I know you keep a busy schedule, so I imagine updates will be sporratic at best. Sure that between everyone here, we can coax a "bit" more power from it (mwuhahahaha)

GULP! I had seen this thread but somehow figured it was as old as the SAS swap and that I hadn't realized that he was doing a v-8 swap at the same time. Boy do I feel dumb.... 8-[
