A van with TBI wouldn't have a TH350 behind it. More research required.

Otherwise, it's probably a decent deal, assuming it can be rebuilt.

I went to check it out last night. The tranny is a turbo 350. His dad replaced the old one with a th350, but hardly got to use it. Plus the motor still runs, it is still in the van. So i took it for a little test drive, tranny shifted like a dream.

What are you going to do with it? You already have a 350, right?

Is the original engine that came in the van? If so, the heads are junk. What 350 do you have now? In other words, what heads are on it?

I'd sell the TH350. Too many down-sides for a street-driven car.
