Just a thought.

Is it possible that we don't think of the engines as being reliable because
the vans themselves are so well built?  I've never owned an American vehicle
that went over 120K without it falling apart to the point that, if the
mechanicals had problems, the condition of the body was such that it was not
worth doing the mechanical repairs.

My Westy has 375K on it, and it is still worth putting $ into repairing and
keeping roadworthy.
