IIRC the vans of this generation had an unibody design. Anyway, probably a Diesel backed by a 5-speed manual would be your best option. If you would rather consider keeping the van as a gasser and trying the downsizing approach, I'd tell you to get the 262cu.in. V6, preferably with EFI, and try some sort of forced induction (either turbocharger or supercharger).
