yes the v8 swap is pretty much a direct bolt in, with the awd the oil pan needs to be modded to clear the front diff.

unfortunately the xr3 wont be able to replace the van, at this point anyway, unless i get on a job site secure enough to actually leave them on site, and i have to many tools to trailer with the xr3. it would start out as a grocery getter and afford use the fuel savings to get out and about more, and take some road trips.

i will definitely do a build thread.
