I bought a '98 white cargo with a bad engine and transmission and put the green 'Stros good v6 and transmission it it and the '99 LS1 setup in the green one. Short note under the pics OR you can click on the pic for enlargement but lose the note. Have fun, HP

Looking good, I'm jealous of the white cargo. That shorty looks awesome too. Any engine mods?

The white cargo sold to a Fed-Ex guy. I didn't realize they worked for themselves and hired out to Fed-Ex but it explains alot. The shorty cargo has a L31 crate motor in it but I haven't owned that one in quite some time. It is a '88 that I bought new. I've put V8s in six different Astros. The green LS1 Astro just went to BADASSASTRO on 22April 11.

I screwed up and ruined that album. It still has some Astro stuff there but I lost all my LS1 swap pics. ](*,)
