Oh god did they ever make the Ford Escort panel van in left hand drive? I've just found out about these and I already NEED one.

If I only I could ship in 14 inch from the PNW so he could curse bless the van with his gift of spiders before you guys got into it. Cuz I'm a bastard like that.

Dad has lived his life working out of Chevy 1 ton vans. Seeing the hump off the motor is a familiar sight.

Our first shot was a simple baseline of the stock 5.3 with the carb and headers, making a credible 337 hp and 351 lb-ft of torque. Next, it was a simple task to strip the accessory drive and timing-gear cover and swap the stock hydraulic roller cam for a new Comp Thumpr cam. We also added a set of Comp beehive valvesprings to the stock heads to ensure adequate valve control at what we figured would be a higher peak horsepower engine speed. That's exactly what happened. Just bolting in this new Thumpr cam (it didn't even have a part number) pushed the peak horsepower from 5,600 to a nose-bleeding 6,800 rpm. But more torque at a higher engine speed is the formula for horsepower, which is what happened when the peak power jumped from 337 to 433 with stock heads. That's a 96hp bump with a cam swap!

Mostly because a complete, with all accessories, all wiring, all manifolds, ECU, literally everything motor of V8/V10 flavor costs me $300 plus tax.

I know this is from forever ago but how much do you see LM4's go for? Are you ever able to find them without the yard knowing they're the aluminum version?
