Nope. It's a bottom-feeder Aerostar, not even an XL. I've got a ton of 'preventative maintenance' planned shortly after the purchase that will be performed over the course of two weeks; air filter change, fuel filter change, oil change, ATF and filter change, new belts, coolant exchange, radiator hose and cap replacement, chassis greasing and differential gear oil.
I was thinking about 'pizza pan' wheel covers perhaps, and maybe switching to 0W20 oil and this for the transmission:

I was also considering this for the rear end:

Being a van the engine compartment is cramped and heat dissipation is already a slight issue, so I don't believe I can block too many air openings. I'm thinking of using an underdrive crankshaft pulley; also, would switching to an electric cooling fan help?
