Also, IDK what transmission the FORD van has. The successor van is a 2001 FORD E350 with 7.3L diesel engine & 18 MPG. Odds are good it's the most common transmission that is connected to that engine.
Instead of replacing the entire engine, you could eventually turn the current one into all-mechanical. About the transmission, some older Ford transmissions had a similar layout to their electronically-controlled replacements.
