    The motor should produce around 400 horse power, and its a Supra 5 spd box.

    I have a supra box in my Dodge rat rod, I changed the shifter a few months back the standard ones are very sloppy well mine was anyway, I purchased a cube shifter of ebay similar to a Hurst Shifter and its a massive improvement very tight and precise you can also get a about 3 variations of shift sticks as well, again similar to the Hurst range he is a Aussie guy that is selling them and have spoke with him he was very helpful, keep them in mind if you find down the track you arent happy with the shifter.

    My supra box is only behind a pretty much stock 253 but I recently met a guy after a car show who had a EH ute with a supra box behind a 350 crate motor and he hadn't had any problems

    This is going to be a real nice van! Not that that comes as a surprise to anyone that's been following this from the beginning.

    You are doing a lot of cool things without going over the top and building something reliable, fast and good looking.

    And you've gotta call it "MAL"......
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
