Update... possibly interesting. Each passing day brings me closer to installing a supernaturally aspirated 2.4 liter engine in this van. The old 2.5 common block engine has the beginnings of its death rattle. I wonder if Jason would let me post the SRT4 engine swap on 2GN... mmmmmm.

New update... screw the 2.4 turbo idea. I'm putting in a 5.9 liter Dodge small block V8. Driving the rear wheels. I've been pulling my 18 foot trailer with this van now, but I will REALLY be able to pull it then...!!

Whoa, that is a sweet aero kit... I really like the all white with everything shaved and the dark grill. Very nice. Now I wish that someone actually built an aero kit like that...

I would love to have a 100 wide by 86 high avatar of this latest photoshop aero version of my van. Perhaps wiggyx would be interested in providing that product for me.....

Anyone interested in buying this van that has been a popular photoshop item for the last couple of years...?? I just bought a V8 powered, 4x4, Jeep Grand Cherokee that is going to take over my daily transport duties. Just remember this van is NOT lowered, nor does it have a SWEET aero kit on it. It DOES have SRT-4 wheels on it with 215/50-17 Goodyear tires mounted. It is the C/V model, which means the only seats are the two front buckets. There are not even mounting brackets in the floor for any rear seats. Which makes it a nice smooth floor for hauling tools/supplies/etc. Cool van.

If that was a black turbo 5sp C/V, I'd be all over it

Good luck with the sale. Too bad you aren't going through with the project though

Well, the famous photoshop van is sold now. Sold it to a guy that I work with, so I will probably still see it every day. Because I was selling it, I actually took some time to do a little work on it. The main thing was removing the balance shafts to quiet it down a little, and regain some lost oil pressure. Yes, those balance shaft bearings can get a little loose over time. With the shafts gone and the oil supply port plugged, I picked up about 10 psi. The crankshaft loves me for this, I know. The new owner has some young kids, so he talked me out of an old K5 Blazer seat that I have. I am modifying the seat to bolt in the very back of the C/V van (behind the fuel tank). I had already added seat belts to the frame of the K5 seat years ago..... Okay, I better stop with the trivia.
