Take that van over to MOPARTS and, with pics plus ALL specs (including scale weight FF/RR as you intend to use it) ask that friendly and HIGHLY experienced bunch. FE is not just low-end torque, that is a beginner mistake.
There was also, in the past ten-twelve years, another van owner with LA engine doing some good miles on DodgeTalk or one of the other truck-related forums (using a customized ThermoQuad and a DualPort intake manifold).
