Malaise era van with a slant 6. That has got to be painfully slow... 

225 slant six?

In reply to 914Driver :

You need it.

I wonder if the Hyper-pak would clear the doghouse, of if the carburetor would be under the driver's seat?  

In reply to slantvaliant :

turbo should fit.

Had a slant six and 4 speed (3spd w/OD?) in a full size Dodge pickup, seemed peppy enough; never pulled a car with it.

In reply to 914Driver :

do it..

Texted the seller asking for photos on the interior and undercarriage; also asked if the 97k miles can be verified.  (not 197 or 297k)

In reply to 914Driver :

It's about 40-50 min from my house by looks of the map.  let me know if you need boots on the ground.. 

Thanks, lets see how it goes.  Only concern at the moment is retrieving.

Seller says he has no other pictures, believes the 97k is original.  He bought it 7 years ago and doesn't drive it much, needs TLC for a looong trip.

Oh man. That thing is 225 raging cubic inches if AWESOME!!!!

I’m out of the area this weekend. But next maybe.  

Fitting that van in my garage will be interesting. But might be possible. 

If I had two good arms I’d drive it back on my vacation. I’m trying to convince the wife we need a van.

Came here to say “just needs dinner-plate-sized turbo.”

In my head, I've already backdated this thing with a 1973 front end.
