i remember my dad had a 1990 gmc saffari van ext version that thing hauled ass and we never had an issue with it man i was such a dork being proud that my dad had a mini van that could beat the hell out of a 5 litre mustang
I have a 86 it has a late 60s early 70s 350,small cam(way bigger than stock) highrise intake and a 650 Edelbrock and also full lenth headers and it has a B&M shift kit. I'm running into Title problems cause I'm using a power of attorney but I had a plan b when buying it,it'll break em loose going 20mph. Plan B is to yank the drivetrain put the rims on my truck,scrap the body and find an old S10 it can be dented up I like sleepers then I have every thing but the motor mounts to have a mean S10
@MrMatty1993 To make people with tradition sporty cars look dumb when the get whipped by a van,I traded my 83 Camaro with he 305 H.O for my Astro and it would tear the Camaro up while hauling 8 friends
nice !!!!!!! check mine out those chevys b cheap and easy , the s-10 i had the same year with a jasper 3-1 and a t-5 tranny and and couldnt keep a rear axle in it but they are in every bone yard around try a 1998 rear and you have a lil lower gear but almost all i see in 98 are traction lock and do great burnouts
The rear end on astros is offset (because of the location of the gas tank), so swaping a 10 bolt from a truck wont work.havent had any probs with mine (newer astro's +91 have 30spl and 7.625inch ring gear).

My neighbor has a '92 Safari cargo van with a blown motor, I have a spare 350 long-block with vortec heads sitting in my garage. Hmmm...

apparently you can stuff a 427 in them, but a 350 is not hard (I think even the bolt pattern is the same)

If i did a V8 conversion on a Safari/Astro i would get a rearend that could handle the power. The rearend is the weakest point in them things.
