I have just started to restore my dads '66 A100 custom sportsman van. I put the van in storage 34 years ago after he passed away. Now its time to restore the van before I get too old to drive it.
Originally I wanted to install a 360 V8 but have now decided to build the original 225 Slant Six. I know that
Clifford Research has performance parts for the slant six. Any other advice would be appreciated.
The van is actually in great condition. Just a few minor rust through in the typical areas. I have already gutted the interior and removed the engine and transmission. I plan on have the body soda blasted and primed before we start any body work. I already have collected over the years a lot of NOS parts and only need a few items. The interior is still in great shape except for the front seats that I will have reupholstered.
I drove this van when I was in high school and can't wait to drive it to my 45th high school reunion.
