Good God don't put an unpowered FOX engine in your van. I think you might regret having taken the immense amount of time it would take to install that 81 horsepower little dumper. I installed a 2.2 from a '93 subaru legacy and have not had any probs in over 50 thousand miles, I've got 130 horses, and would have liked the 2.5 or 3.3 but will wait until another time for that. Good luck in what ever you decide!
