Paw Paw, either the conversion company covered it up with carpet or I'm a bad ECM searcher 
HotRod, absolutely. Much eddjoo' in this journey.
Quite very happy with this van finally. Thing's turning into a real babe. Installed new heater yesterday. That was awful! 9:00-2:00 is too long for a simple operation. User error maybe
NY trip - the van fit 7 friends, drumset, 2 guitars, guitar & bass amp, & misc. gear comfortably. The van is a roadtrip warrior! NY traffic moved at 1mph for a bit, and cruising @ 70-75 isn't the best for mileage ... 13.6mpg avg. That's pretty piss poor, but I think it computes. Unaerodynamic van weighs 4700lbs, friends weigh ~1000lbs, band gear weights ~200lbs; 350 was working but holding strong. Half throttle on some longer grades.
A trip w/ 5 ppl to the Jersey Shore yielded 17mpg last year. That's an easy, 55-65mph, flat ride. Back then I didn't have lockup in 3rd & 4th with a 2200 stall speed, ooooh aaah.
Thanks all very much for your help. I consider this a resounding success. Here are some friends & some glamour shots. Red flannel makes me look 42 @ 24, but I assure you - I felt 8 the whole trip.
