Gordon, it appears that I don't have the right plugin for my computer to view your video, but anytime another Astro/Safari gets "V8'd", it's a good day!
How do you like the gearing in your van's differential? I've been kicking around the idea of installing a 3.73 LS rear end in my 89, but wonder if the higher engine RPM will bother me or not.

That's the sound I was hoping for with my swap, with headers but it sounds sane going through the stock muffler. Yours sounds plain Mean, if my Astro sounded like that then for sure I would send my wife to work in it. BTW she's a Social Worker.

I worked at a custom Muffler shop in the mid 80's for a year and a half and I swore off glass packs after the first pull over by the cops. I take my 4 kids to a religious school every day and it would be interesting to see the look on the faces of those who like the short hair and well mannered children.
