  Maybe he was talking about the Hex (key) bolts in his CV joints...Turn
those keys, move the tranny around, bolt up the engine and clip on the
wires and then, in about 3 days, you are good to go...

   A "complete conversion package" is  plenty different from Turnkey....It
is still a large amount of work for the vendors who offer these
conversions. It is much simpler for the Van Owner, easier by far than doing
it on their own,  because they won't have to deduce anything for themselves
(other than how to pay for it)  but a "turnkey" conversion is one where you
drop off the van and pick it back up later with new motor installed and
hopefully warranted...
