    The Econoline and Dodge are very cool. Good base to start with, and some lovely work to make them really sing. Can't go wrong.

    Ah yes, the forward control Dodge, bringing mid-engined goodness to the vanning public long before Toyota came along and made it awful.


    Hey, those Toyota vans were nice and compact, but did you ever try to work on one? Hell on wheels - literally. At least with the Dodge's slant six you can pretty much just dump in oil every year or so and not worry about it.


    Another great thing about vans - anything you want out of the back, just tromp on the brakes. Whatever it is, it'll hit you in the back of the head.

    Think about it: the Evo MR FQ 400, or whatever, makes 400 horses from 2 litres exactly? They should do that.

    Speaking of "hate to love", that rainbow flame-job is friggin' kool.


    And as much as I am a diehard Mopar guy, the '61-'67 Ford van had it all over Dodge's A100 in the looks department.
