Re: Another Swap
Where are the parts pics? You know we have a saying here...no pics, it didn't happen. 
How about some specs. Year of van, AWD or RWD, what engine you are swapping etc.

Re: Another Swap
Well its a 92 rwd putting in a 305 that has had some work done to it no pics yet haven't started it yet but motor mounts did come in.
Its getting the basic treatment header, TBI, 700r4, nothing to exciting.
I got my Burb running on Saturday so now I have something to drive that will run in the snow, have to convince my wife that she really doesn't need the garage or I get to do in on the RV pad in the snow. Which might not be all that bad sometimes.
