Building The Suspension
I love to build and modify things so when I decided I/we needed something to go 4wheelin with, I wanted to be able to take to kid's along so I decided to build me a mini van. I got a 91 Plymouth Voyager for $200.00 and sold the engine for $800.00. then I did several odd jobs to acquire the suspension and power plant that I wanted, I used the axles from a 78 Chevy K-5 Blazer, the front springs are from an 88 Chevy Suburban, the transmission and transfer case are from a Dodge pick-up (I got them free, but had to rebuild them), the 440 came from a 1977 class A motorhome (had to wire a small repair shop for).
I decided I wanted to try and use the vans fuel injection, so I modified a manifold I got from E-bay and bought the fuel rails and throttle parts from E-bay also. The project will hopefully be done this summer. I will send updates as we get more done.
