Good God don't put an unpowered FOX engine in your van.  I think you might
regret having taken the immense amount of time
it would take to install that 81 horsepower little dumper.  I installed a 2.2
from a '93 subaru legacy and have not had any probs in over 50 thousand
miles,
I've got 130 horses, and would have liked the 2.5 or 3.3 but will wait until
another time for that.

                                                                        Good
luck in what ever you decide!
