My vote goes to your parents van, it runs and drives

Doh!

i drive the old van to work everyday. its got 250k miles on original everything. a few annoying things. idle is stuck at 2500rpm so when i put it in gear if i don't give it any gas it will go atleast 25mph LOL also the drivers window doesn't go down and it gets 2MPG besides that i love it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

They wouldnt dare give you the new van, lol. I love my old shitty Cherokee, people see it coming and get scared. It sounds kind of cool though with the Flowmaster mufflers.

i was the first one to drive the new van. the day we got we went on vacation to delaware. guess who drove most of the way. the new van kicks ass. if the old van can tow my car i'll use it to take to the drag strip and road course. in case my car breaks i can just tow it home. i don't think the old van will be happy doing that though. the old can van could use a fresh block and some paint and then it would be perfect again. hmmmmmm.....................

Yeah, just what you need, ANOTHER project.

the hardest part of swapping the engine on that is getting the engine out. gotta cut the front of the van out ot get it out LOL

well its cheaper than buying a new one like my parents got https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png[/quote]

You dont have to cut it out you animal, lol[/quote]

what do you have to do drop the entire front chassis ? i have no clue about domestics! changing the plugs on that thing is a pain too!

Come now, changing the plugs cant be that bad, I have changed plugs on quite a few vans. You remove the engine box INSIDE the van right? Makes it easier. Depending on the van, you either take the engine out thru the passenger compartment, or you un-bolt, not cut, the header panel and grill out. You may have to take the intake manifold or heads off first, again- depending on the van.
