I want to both save my current Van and improve it.

I already have the 350 as described above so the only step is to fit a 400 crank. And then assemble it.

I am then left with only one remaining question: The cam, is the peanut cam too small for the 383??

You can purchase crate Military 6.2 diesels for $50 on up and they use the same transmissions as the 350

As long as you use a C code 6.2 they last a long time, have minimal maintenance and are quite simple.

Another option is to talk to the guy below

A 5 speed stick is usually quite helpful
