Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
So update-
I finally drove this thing and its pretty interesting. I would say it takes some getting used to, but initially a little sluggish, but there is a learning curve like a 240, and I was zipping around decently once I found the right feel for the throttle. I instantly loved it, though I think I might want a better rear end ratio for later. Maybe a 4.10 ratio instead of 3.7. I only got up to 3rd gear, but the transmission feels pretty good, each ratio a bit shorter than the stock MB.
Wont do a highway test until I have all my gauges, and I still have big leak issues related to my remote oil filter plate. I have to take that off and repair it. Just looks like things arent threaded down tight enough, so might be able to do on the motor
here is a short video of the engine from the inside, unfortunately I was plagued by some traffic
