As for the 350 swap it is any extreamly easy one to do all you need are the convertion mounts and custom headers and you in!
I had myself a convertion 87 Astro van before the bonne and i loved that van, frigon thing was bullet proof near 500,000 miles on the clock and ran strong only reason i sold it was the rust was starting to get ahead of me and i couldnt pass up the $1600 offer i was given

I love the Astro, they're the best thing next to Bonnevilles. I would love to have one. Can't decide how I would mod it but I would stick a LS1 in it and lower it but beyond that, it'* up in the air

I guess the 4.3L is a good, long lasting motor, but drinks gas needlessly (same as my 4.0L OHC in my Explorers).
Aw, you'd be better off with a Trans Sport or similar. More potential
