found a cheap motor
so my wife's friend told me she had a motor for sale yesterday. i told her i would go check it out today. well i have never paid any attention to the old van behind her house but any who. after looking it over and talking with her i found out that her dad had a shop put a crate motor in his van around 14 years ago. well it turns out to be a 340 with a six pack...i was like wow this is a great find. so we got down to brass tax and we decided on $200 on the motor and trans(the price she gave me)if i pull it out. after talking to her a bit more i found out that the motor has less than 20k miles on it. we setup a day this weekend for me to pull the motor and trans. now the hard part is what to put it in?????

Re: found a cheap motor
lol yeah for real. he had to haul stuff with the van so i guess he wanted a lil more power. the van has a gnarly rear end in it too...they stop driving it due to a electrical problem. i might rebuild it with some upgrades..Kentucky Kid wrote:Talk about a hot rod van!
