That is a great lookin van, atleast from the outside. Dig the two tone 70's paint job, and even the dog dish hubcaps. I have a 76 Sportsman I'm about to resurrect, which is a factory 440 van. Wonder if I could use those hubcaps on my wheels too.
@Leeroy69Jenkums As long as you have the factory style steel wheels, I believe Ford and Dodge wheels can use the same hubcaps - just look at the wheels to see where the cap snaps on to be sure. 440 is naaaaiiiice. A pal of mine has one in his '79, but State of CaliF***ya won't let 'em register it 'cuz 440's were abandoned in '78 for vans. Did a * LOT * of burnouts in that thing, but those were days before video recording devices were everywhere...
@TheAdultChild101 360 all the way! At that point the fuel injection had been removed, and it was running a Carter ABF 9000 competition series 4 barrel w/ an edelbrock performer manifold, Crane cam, headers, dual exhaust, and glass packs. I miss that van... I also miss 83 cents a gallon, too!

The dinosaur from the front is in the garage carefully stored in a crate. I believe the beautician's head-in-a-helmet is in there, too.
Man... What I wouldn't give for the days when 6 MPG wasn't that bad....
