Where cost is also very good. Thanks guys
4.3 vortec or even a modified engine but has to be drop in.

vortec heads.jpg Actually the 96+ 4.3 Vortec head flows identical to the L31 head. They share the same weak exhaust ports as the 350 heads. I would open the heads up in a heart beat and run 2.02/1.60" valves in them. GM Powertrain released Vortec 4.3s with spreadbore single plane manifolds on ...

Every shop here wants at least $1000 because of the bodylift with the pucks. They say they have to gut the inside and get to some bolts. I noticed on the tutorial that you don't do that. Is this pretty safe?

Think I found a new engine on eBay

Safari 2WD Van? My wife wants to do a V8 swap now...we are getting her lift kit done tomorrow and I Will put up pics soon as well. We are looking for a V8 swap that is newer, reliable, easy and most of all affordable. I saw that the 1996 -2003 Vortec 350/5.7L might be a wise choice. Anyone have link...

Very Nice ride. We got our lift kit and will be doing this soon as well. My wife has the 95. One thing that I did notice....Your lift looks allot higher than the other 4-5 inch lifts out there. Secret? lol

Thank you so much...I needed this.

So were planning on going with 31x10.5 15's. Is there a way to get away with 16" rims? If so what tire size? WOuld like larger tires but it might not fit. Thanks

sorry.. may have missed it.. any chance you could let me know the paint brand, color names and codes for both the green and black? i have people in all the time looking for flats with a matte finish .. if i could cross those names/numbers it'd be helpful sorry bout that. It's by hot rot flatz and t...

Personally, that may be the coolest looking 2wd van I've ever seen, bar none. I'll be very interested in watching this unfold because I really like the stance as it is, but understand your predicament if the friking tires don't quite fit. How high do you plan on lifting it? Black wheels usually don...

I LOVE it! =D> The front tires are smaller and the front tires are the biggest we can get to fit. The rims are 18". Thanks What year? The difference in diameters of the tires will destroy the transfer case and/or front diff if the van is a 1996 to 1998. If the van is a 1999 to 2002, I hope you...
