Dave, Why not just take the value of an 87 with a good engine and subtract what it would cost to install a rebuilt engine. Note there would be a difference between a blown engine needing a complete rebuild or replacement, and a engine with leaking heads needing just replacement heads and gaskets. Be sure to include the labor for each. This would probably give a higher value than what the van would sell for because of the "don't want to be bothered" factor of the seller.
