Will today i picked up a 1990 Chevy van. I know a van as a project, the van is not my project. I got the van because of the motor. The motor is a 350 turned into a 383 with all kinds of performance parts in it. I am going to pull the motor out and put it in something. I am think a camaro, s10, or something. I dont know what i am going to do just yet. Here is a couple of pics. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/PIC-0049.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/PIC-0049.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/0000000000000000.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/0000000000000000.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/oooooooo.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/oooooooo.jpg) ---

Goodluck, that looks like a bitch to pull out. Maybe you’ll be on “To catch a predator” with that van. ---

I’ve done a few of them. You have to take the intake off, so you can lift the motor high enough to pull it forward. That van looks new enough that you can take the front end apart to pull the motor thru the front. The older vans had to have the core support cut to get the motor out. Since the body is junk, this will make it much easier to get the motor out, anyway. Cut it at the W/S pillars & across the floor behind the motor. Now it is real easy. ---
