These are awesome vans. My mom's friend had a 95 G20 Gladiator Edition back in the day. It was so cool. It was the High Top as well and it was fully loaded. Took a lot of trips in it. They ran that van into the ground, but they got their money's worth out of it. Anyway the Motor on this one sounds really good compared to the rest of the van.

Cool looking van. Too bad about the body damage. That 350 is probably a better option for your s10 than the bus motor. Can probably even get the fuel injection working in the s10 if you wanted to go that route.

Wish I'd seen this sooner. it's not worth fixing because it would need to go on a frame machine to straighten the front end out. That front fender is welded on, not serviceable. Which is a shame because it's a sharp van. But there's tons of good parts there. The rear doors particularly, they always vanish up here as much because the latches freeze up as because they rust any. That front power seat is interesting, I've never seen one in a conversion before. Some of the parts like the cluster are 93-95 only, the trans is like 92-94 only, lots of other stuff like that. If it was straight I'd probably want to buy it.
