Its a 90 cargo van, 3.0 automatic. It started as a Airborne Express delivery van. Was then purchased by my grandparents and used for their interior design business. It was my first vehicle with 165K. After installing a junkyard A4LD and trying to hop up the lil 6, a rocker arm came loose at 177K and out it came!! It would have been an easy fix, but I was bored with it.... So my dad taught me the basics of an engine swap, and got it running just after I graduated High school. Since then I have been steadily improving the halfassed ride, piece by piece. I love my van, the focal point of most of my money and time. Some huge plans in store...
Engine:
current; 289 V8, E303 roller cam, holley 4 bbl, castiron intake, headers, t-5 trans
Plan; GT40 heads with a power plus intake, rebuilt tranny, and better clutch
Suspension:
current; stock front(why change it?), 9 inch rear, 4 link, panhard, 3.25 gears, 4 wheel disc brakes, narrowed rear axle, stock driveshaft and tranny mount!!
Plan; watts link type set up in the rear, 3.50 gears, 31 spline axles and POSI
Electrical:
current; moved battery to pass side, fuse box from 92 ranger, relay panel from 96 explorer, custom gauge pack, 90 amp alt
Plans; 130 amp alt, power inverter, dual batteries, completely custom interior lighting
Exterior:
current; silver paint, had vinyl stripes from its delivery roots, explorer front wheels, 15x10 steel chrome wheels, partially finished rear bumper(steel)
Plans; 3 tone paint(silver, charcoal, black), painted on red stripes(I think they were cool!!), blue pin stripping, body skirts(steel), finished bumper with tail lights in it
A mural on the side, where the window would be, of a fox my favorite animal...
And someday a set of turbo's under the floor. |
