Some friends and I built a mid engine 1980 plymouth voyager 15 passanger with a 410 small block, stock heads off an 85, stock singal exhaust, thing ran like a powerful big block, stock 727 11" tube on drive shaft, only problem we had driving it was it bound backing up. Then on the way back from its maden 700mile journey they burnt it to the ground. (don't smoke over the carb)

the biggest problem is heat, carbomonoxide I recommend getting the cover from the 60's dodge van 100 series where the engine was along side the drivers seat. we ran the hoses from the front with aluminum pipes thing always ran realy cold If your going to spend this much time and money run a 360 you will like the extra power. It wont cost much more support the engine bay well we used tons of 1 1/2x 3" steel with 2 bars coming down for engine mounts. Good luck please send emails when completed.
