[@oikkuoek]

This is going to be the coolest thing ever!! Just a couple of issues though: That oil pan is not going to last. No way. Just cut the floor off, and mount the engine to it's intended position regarding the drive line and ground clearance. Also that diff won't last. Especially when welded. They break even with stock setup over time, so when you smash 6 times over the design limit of horsepower trough that ol'misty, it will disintegrate the moment when tires get traction. Vargas borthers may have performed a couple of burnouts with similar setup, but a Van has totally different rear end than a light Pick-up. different masses, different torsion vectors, etc. And that thing needs a roll cage. It will lay on it's side more than once just because of it's basic geometry. It's a lot of work, but that's how the best toys are made.

The mystery van is 110% going to need a cage and at minimum a harness bar and seat because that van is for sure going to be on its side. Maybe lower it. All I know is this thing has to go down the track, but safely. So badass. (Edit): nevermind doesnt look like your going to be able to lower it with how low it's going to sit :(

[@allseeingeyezz]

needs some hub spacers. get the wheels to stick out 6 inches or so with some negative camber

[@james4wd236]

I was thinking the same thing. The van needs to be lowered but the engine is already to low. I would cut the floor to move the engine up and then lower the van to lower the center of gravity. With its current set up it will more than likely flip and or they will tear the oil pan off.
