I have to disagree with the others on this.  Since you have no
experience and this is not a "keeper" van, I strongly suggest that you
find a mechanic who will do it for $600-$800.  With no skills, tools,
experience or emotional attachment this would be a very risky thing for
you to attempt.

Factor this into the selling price, and since you can also offer Bob's
warranty on the engine you should be able to recoup this.  Find a "cheap
tow" outfit to haul it as well to save a few bucks, they can usually be
found in most metro areas.

Alternatively, you can try to sell it "as is," but probably at a pretty
steep discount.
