[68valiant400]

hey i just ended my life as a young fun kid with no boundries and nothing but myself to worry about. last couple years i've moved out from home,had 2 kids settled down from party life and working on cars 24/7. but i still felt cool 8)driving my avenger as a daily driver, loud stereo loud exhaust tones of mods and lowered,bodykit.I have been doing everything i can to satisfy my urge to to stay young and free, not let fun life seep away like this :clock: but on monday i put the final nail in the coffin:snakeman:

I BOUGHT A MINIVAN=P~:glasses9:


But there might still be a light at the end of the tunnel, i can always drop a 340 in it?? or easy would be a 3.0l 5spd swap, anybody else feel this way and done stuff to thier dodge caravans? or iam i just nuts for want to do a performance family van?:-k

Another one bites the dust, in the old days the parents would go out and buy a station wagon nowadays it's a mini van to troope the horde around town. I really feel sorry for ya but can offer this as a long term target. Once you move the last one out of the house, like I did with my son last month, and it's just you and mommy, it's amazing all the neat things you can afford to buy and all the neat places you can afford to go.

Hey Randy!
Are you going to bring that badboy out to Mapleview? LOL
If I see you cruising down Brant, I'll be sure to honk-n-giggle. Enjoy it dude, they grow up so quickly, and then all you are stuck with is a dried up ole *****, and an A-body..hmmm, actually that is the best time to have your hotrod. I saw Adam Wilson on Thursday, he said to say Hi.

Lets start a pole to name Randy's van.

Here's the 2.5 Turbo Caravan........no need to think your fun
life is over. I'm 60 years old and having a blast with this thing!

I do like the red one in the post above but I don't think
it can be a sleeper.

Here are some pics of "The Family Truckster" :

Before the hood scoop

after the scoop

at the 1/8 mile strip...air and track were cold. The Mini smoked
the tires for the complete eighth mile. Speedo showed 100 mph
thru the lights because of tire spin!

I get a lot of laughs and finger pointing...but I blow a lot
of doors off too.

Boosting the 242,000 mile 2.5 4 banger.....van has never had
the head off!

So 68valiant400, like I said before
don't worry about your fun life being over...It's just starting!

your van rocks!8) good job, does the turbo come factory or did you just add it to the 2.5? i found another guy who swapped a 3.0 5 spd from a shadow in his.And is it possible to swap a 2.2 or 2,5 turbo in my 3.3?

 

[68valiant400]

my friend calls his the bang bus lol you can figure out why but i have kids so, right now i just call it the brick, big red brick but a need a good name


heres my new mopar movan

Thanks for the comments!
Mine came stock with the 2.5 Turbo. I'm not sure about swaping
out your setup with a 2.2 or 2.5.

The guys over at Turbo-Mopar might be able to aanswer that
question. Here's the link:

Here's one for sale on one of the other forums I am on.

The price seems right too. This would be a fun ride. The 5-speeds
used in the 89 turbo vans is the A-555 heavy duty with the
Getrag gear train. Same tranny as used in the Intercooled Shelby
Daytonas.
