    Nothing like putting an old van to work, using it for what it was made for! I moved a whole load of deck railings in mine from Home Depot, ya should have seen the looks from all the contractors at the commercial loading door!

    Excellent!! The Beast is about to come alive!!! So, it looks like you've solved the problem of wheelies with the location of the engine in the middle of the van...Good thinking! Hopefully it will run as Great as it looks. You're a Good Friend Don. Can't wait to see it all put together. cheers

    I surely learned my lesson last time when I had Surfer Scott with me and I hit a dip too fast with a 6 cylinder Chevy in the back end and pulled a 10 foot long wheelie and came down  REALLY HARD,,,,,and I surely hauled that Ford engine home also in the back end 3 years ago,,,,,,,,but from now on,,,,,the engine goes behind my engine when I haul them.....not above the gas tank,,,,,,but now its in a different county,,,,,,,not in my garage......
