I got lucky around mid July and found pretty much all of the parts I was lacking on craigslist from one guy. Fuel pump, radiator, alternator, and another water pump all for 150 dollars. New Starter+bracket and bolts came out to be $100:

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the project done before I left for a year to Europe to study. I kept running out of money and by the time I found the parts for cheap, it was already too late. Irving and I put the van back together, finally putting on the transmission and stuffing it with my furniture. It's going to sit for 9 months starting today =( But it made my happy to see the tranny in there and knowing that we got all the parts, we should probably be able to get it running in a month after I get back in May.
