Abandoned for 20 Years! Will It Run New World Record? Stock Chevy Van Bottom End for a Blower Motor!

I picked up this van from a local scrapper this past summer. Not knowing what to do with it at that time I have since decided we should see if it will run and if it does we should try putting my 671 blower setup on top of the stock bottom end! Seems like a terrible idea right? Well, lets see if we can get it to run first! Neither the engine nor the van is for sale at this time. As always, thanks for watching!

Mad props to these car guys. Been watching a bunch of them for years (including Mortske) so I finally worn the wife down and was allowed to get an old 59 F100 w/ a 223. Been working on it for a few weeks and my baby-soft hands are scratched up and permanently dirty, my garage is a disaster, and every piece of clothing I own smells like PB Blaster and salty tears. I'm sleeping on the couch and eating dinner with the O'Reilly's guys in town. My whole body hurts and i'm broke. I dont know how they do this for years on end. I need a vacation already and it's been like 13 days.

[@MortskeRepair]

The bottom end of that 350 sounds really good, but that BDS 6-71 on a stock bottom end reminds me of the Draguar that Dave Freiburger and Mike Finnegan built in the parking lot of Gotelli Speed Shop in California. It ended up running like crap and overheated to the point of warpage. I would definitely treat it with some aftermarket aluminum heads, a valvetrain upgrade, and a blower cam before bolting that big beautiful bastard onto it. You know more than I do about engines though. You've worked on damn near everything...😂😂😂

My uncle Ed had an '87Chevy van in the mid 90s. It was a green half ton window, very dented up and missing the rear seat.

The van had the EFI 231 V6 and ( I guess) TH350. He also put load leaves above the rear spring packs.

You can use the exhaust manifolds, because all you have to do is put plugs in the smog holes after you put some heat on them to get them our. That's how we use to eliminate all that BS when we de smogged anything that didn't get headers. Those should flow better than even the rams horn manifolds did because of the larger outlets on them along with the longer tubes off the end exhaust ports without the sharp bends restrictions of regular cast iron manifolds. Since you're going to use the big ass blower on it you need all the flow out you can possibly get in order to tune it halfass correctly. Unless you install a huge top pulley, and choke it down to minimum capability, and I don't think that one will really go too low on CFM's anyways. I could be wrong, but I would check with the blower shop to see just how much they are capable of moving with the smallest pulley available, but then you still have the two 650 cfm holleys sitting on top that will have to be jetted down as small as you can and them not bog down. Unless you can make them into a two stage setup to where you only use one until WFO throttle is applied, but you'll probably kill the blower surge that's so f'in kool about blowers

It had a 350-4bbl. He drove it about 150k miles and we took lots of family trips in it; way better than his previous 1970 Ford Ranch Wagon!. My sister and I still reminisce about that van!

And yes, he had students taking air nibblers to cut the front of the van completely off. No reciprocating saws or grinders allowed.

When I was a kid my dad had a '78 GMC Rally Wagon. Same color as that one. I got a lot of driving practice in it. No Blower tho. Watching you work on it brought back memories of what a pain it was to work on...

Thanks for sharing!

As someone who drives a 90’ BEAUVILLE I was entertained by this episode. Those rear doors are worth a pretty penny by the way, if there isn’t a bunch of non visible rust.

I think you should put that blower motor in that 36 or whatever year truck that was you worked on a couple episodes ago. That would be legendary
