You bet Charlie! Thank YOU for the time you spend watching my thread!
I think a V8 was considered at one point in time. In a couple of the repair manuals I have there are illustrations showing a v8 in the van... Who knows?

I have the rest of the week off! Took tomorrow so I can get all of my running done before the "dreaded" Black Friday crap.... Restocking the welder stuff and hitting my steel supplier for cut-offs and what not.
Here are a few things I will be working on once the tig welder is gassed up. I will be making these mounts for the trans cooler.

The verticle plates on the cooler will get welded to the shroud and I will mount the assembly to the body using some isolators I picked up on eBay.

The round ones at the bottom are radiator mounts for a 4 wheeler. The upper mounts are 1/2" dia. expansion plugs. A 1/4-20 bolt threads into them and expands the rubber. This will support the top of the cooler on a couple of brackets that will bolt into the radiator support. The short pieces of aluminum tubing will get welded to the bracket to carry the plugs.
Here is a pic of my CAD model. The top brackets...

The bottom isolaters will thread into a couple of rivnuts in the bar.

I hope to have all of the radiator/trans cooler stuff, front wheel wells and inner fender repairs done by the time next Monday rolls around. Wish me luck.
Thanks for looking!
