MostMint doesn't have enough motors in his garage. Says there is always room for one more.
442John was retiring a running '93 Chevy van soooo,



60 some miles later (actually 120 plus round trip in a snow storm) this organ has found a new home.
Now all it needs is a new body. Anybody have any idea what MostMint could do with this latest treasure?

Nice pics. Free delivery and photos - thanks Fred32V
It is a small block - the spitting image of the engine Tiresmoker pulled from his 88 parts truck.
The air filter duct blocks a bunch of the engine but if you look closely you can see the Chevy exhaust port configuration and the Chevy tranny bolt pattern.
On the 1993 G30 (donor van) I spot two horsepower ratings: 195 hp and 295 lbs/ft torque, and 200/300. These numbers are for the sport van, and since this is a work van maybe it is a little different. Maybe different vans have different exhausts. With two of these I could match the HP of the Trailblazer SS.
This baby has 158,200 miles, and it came with the computer and the vehicle owners manual. I have the VIN too so I can confirm the engine specs somewhere down the road.
Seems like a great deal to me.
Now it will sit in the corner with the 3.4 V6, and the 327 short block (from Markss327) on the stand. I may have to move the 350 4-bolt block (from Tiresmoker) over there so it doesn't feel left out.

You could put it in the Camaro so it will pass echeck. At least that's the excuse you give your wife...
