i am looking for something that is reliable and economical, i don't trust the engine in my van it was pretty overheated and the newer engines and transmissions are more economical to drive maybe a 4 spd auto i have a good wrecking yard within 40 miles and plenty of time,it is just a thought,nothing in stone.

Don't get a '97 5.7 V8: I get 18 on the highway, but overall is about 13. You need a newer engine for better economy. Mine's a conversion van; 1500 I think it's got a 3.0 differential.
