I'm driving an '03 Ford van I found last summer with 115K miles, cost $3K, averages 16 MPG in town, 22 MPG highway, with the lame 225-HP 4.6L V8, 4R70W, 3.55:1 gears. Drives well, reliable, looks alot like a 2013 model, and I think you'd do well to find similar rather than spend more on what you got.
Just because you got it cheap doesn't mean it is worth a big investment like that. Yours looks exactly like a late '90s model except for the grille.
Vans are extra difficult for engine swaps, your best bet is a 305, and that'll never compete. That van is nothing special, these days hardly any vans are, even the ones that got the very best megadollar customizations back in the late '70s when vans were the fad.
