Yeah the FET motor, efi turbo.
No idea where I would find one and anyways I need to not be silly haha
There's a rotary econovan locally too ?

Actually in the 626 it's an F2T but quite similar to the FE.

My friend and I have a 626 with an F2 that blew the head and we found an F2T for sale we're currently rebuilding to put in.

If you want to do it all properly it's not actually that hard to pull the pistons and clean up the rings and do a bit of head work eg valve seals etc.

Let us know if you run into any trouble when you're putting it back together and I can tell you about all the mistakes I made and learnt from.

I also probably have some spare parts if you need anything from the old broken motor.

There's a kit to drop the 3.8 commodore motor and auto in them.

You can also use the commodore power steering and air con.

Looks like a bloody easy conversion and for a daily work van the 3.8 would be perfect, probably wouldn't use much more fuel then the old carby 4 banger too they are thirrrsty.

It would haul loads nice especially getting up the mountain to get out of this fish bowl.

And I'm still Convinced I could just bolt a redblock in hahaha

Do I really want to build a van though.... Eww

If you're going to make a fast van then make it something cool like a 4x4 Delica

And fall over.... there's a reason there's not many left I reckon. Although we do have a couple around here still... along with all sorts of other oddballs

Always wanted one, there has been one for sale local for agggges looks like a nugget.

I have no interest in a fast van, I don't even like driving vans they are weird and scary

They sure look like about to fall over! (Years ago came outside home in Geelong to see old Landcruiser on its nose, roof and a little car with a bit of damage, cruiser was flipped by said little car.

Funny that I always notice a 4wd Mitsubishi van, saw one the other day, always rough,dirty, dark green and a crazy eyed driver.....
