>My old Aerostar had a 4.0 V6. I believe it was an iron-block motor. If it >is, wouldn't that make it a bit heavy for a conversion? My 83 Caravelle had a 174hp 3.8 Holedn (Aussie GM) V6 when I bought it. Went well but cast-iron, heads & all, heavy. These vans aren't supposed to be understeerers but mine sure was, and this may well have been due to the heavy engine. Hence the impending change to SVX power. |
