Big bummer, all right! But don't give up on the vans. Maybe yours is
worth rebuilding?

If that's an FJ or BJ60 WAGON  with a 3B engine, stay well clear of
it. While a soild & reliable machine, it is dangerously gutless...
barely capable of 60mph, and utterly unable to overtake. Now, if it's
a 13B or a six, that's a whole different kettle of fish.

Why defile a Toyota by fitting a Chev lump into it?? If ya gotta V8
it, at least put a TOYOTA V8 in!
