The New Black Van is an engine and transmission Donor only. Its an '87 like our camper and the engine runs strong and the transmission was just rebuilt so we will pull both together for the transplant. "Blackie" is noisy as it's running a dual header exhaust and it might be hot rodded a bit. We will find out more as we progress. Right now rains and flooding have put a halt on moving both of them. I will probably pull and recon the heads while its out. We did a wet/dry compression test and one cylinder is leaking some on both tests so we think a valve not seating properly.
The van was used by a couple to go fishing.. Many things do not work so it it will be discarded after removing the good bits. Tires look good but I have new ones on the camper. Will pull some parts to use as spares before the goes to the junkyard. A place nearby has given me a quote of 1300.00 to do the transplant and other things will be on top of that.
