I would say the 71-84 Chevy Vans, all had the 250 as a base engine until they switched to the V6 4.3L in 1985,,,,,,,,

thanks- did those 250s in the 70s and early 80s have the same engine mounts as 1st gen vans?

I think when they moved the engine up to the front, the motor mounts were the same as a V8,,,,,,so the crossmember and brackets would have to be from a 3rd Gen.

Hey Big Noer, Did you ever figure out your charging problem? I'm in Seattle too and I can help you if you want. My daily driver is a '64 chevy van and its the 3rd 1st gen I've owned. I'm pretty good at keeping these ol girls on the road. I PM'd you my ph. number so gimme a call. It would be fun to meet up.
