I love full size vans. Now I've never had to do an engine swap in one so if I did, maybe I'd have a different opinion. My dad had a brand new '77 E250 cargo van that he carpeted himself and put in nice comfy seats. Even had chrome side pipes on it. Our family took it all over the country on trips. Too bad I could only see out the windshield as there were no side windows behind the front seats.

My '94 conversion van (with rear windows) only gets driven when I need such a vehicle. My vx gets driven for everything else. So two vehicles that allow me what I need when I need it. Purchase price of both put together was under $4500. Insurance and license tabs are cheap. Only had to do general maintenance on each so no big repair bills. Best thing is I haven't had a car payment for the couple years I've had them. If your into the keep up with the Jones' crowd these vehicles are far from desirable, but they work for me. Oh and I can haul more stuff in my full size van than my buddies newer Suburban (that he pays over $500/month on).
