thanks for all your help...the time i had to get a motor and trans back in the van was short so i did not get to put the v8 in at this time..the van did get a new jasper v6 high output and all new parts...a new Monster Transmission ...getting out of the hole was a small feet with the pegleg rear...so it was off to the junk yard for a used g8o from a awd astro...when you do this swap make sure you take the bottom clamps the rear tubs are bigger on the g80 (possi) unit then on the pegleg that was taken out...i did not know this but got lucky i took the one when i pulled the rear and found out putting it in...have been from md to fl 4 times now 75 mph or better..gf is not happy about the snap from first to 2ed...hehe...i like it...and it's fun when you get to a red light and a stock 4.6 stang pulls up it jumps out of the hole on a green light i have a few more things to do but all in good time
