Moparracer, for what I was told is a 67-68 HP, forged crank 440, I should know more about it tomorrow. Vanman, the van was a low milage van, the engine is very clean, as was the oil , radiator looks clean, green antifrez. might not be the original engine but it apears that it is, I'll check the #'s. The guy I got it from told me to take whatever I need out of it and take him back the shell, so I got the Elec. Ignition and all, I'll see what else I can use. Trans looks to be the same length, I might just need to change the speedo gear. One thing I didn't like is the Water pump housing dumps on the Pass. side.The trans. dont look that bad either, my friend that was helping me got soaked, and the fluid was clean also. Now I just have to take the engine out of the van, I've never done an engine out of a van, any sugestions? Should I take it out from the front or from the side? Thanx for the replys. Rob.
