    Default I think i found out my next newish car!

    so i was watching some episodes of the A-Team and i kinda want to build this now and i don't know why....





    The van is a 1983 G-series customized by Universal Studios Prop Dept. The engine is a 350 cid with minor modifications done mainly the carburator and exhaust system. The wheels are turbine style 15" painted black with red accents with P235/65 15-front and P 275/65 15-rear. The main color is semi-gloss black-bottom, semi gloss dark gun metal grey metal flake-top with red striping. Other mod's include- quad headlight conversion, full front brushbar, fog/driving lights, exterior sun visor, quad square exhaust tips (each side in front of rear wheels), and custom made rear wing. Interior was custom-white naugahide bucket seats, shag carpet, and custom gun case in the back (Guns were Ruger Mini 14 stainless steel ranch model with side eject and paratrooper folding stocks-two were modified for full automatic). If you look carefully you'll see 3M grip tape all over the roof for scene's where stuntmen jumped onto it. It also had beefy shocks-air shocks in the rear-to improve handling. Scene's where it burns out were done by spraying bleach in front of and onto the rear tires which creates billowing grey smoke and helps it to spin the tires (it was'nt that powerfull, acheiving burnouts on pavement were difficult without help). The van (one of the six used for the show during its run), still sits-rotting on the Universal Back Lot-tires flat, paint faded, for tram tourists to photo-too bad.

    i figure it already comes with a 350 so dropping in a newer LS1 shouldn't be an issue (yes i know wiring it and what not will be a pain...lol)

    now that would be JDM...

    Although the A-Team van is awsome and would suit you perfectly your dreams of speed will be short lived... You still have a 5000lb van which is basically a brick that you would be pushing with a LS1... In other words, take a TransAm and add 1000 lbs and add some wind resistance and that is what you would have, it would be faster then stock but not by enough to justify the cost.


    Plus with how often Jorge would be wanting to borrow it to go down by the river you would never drive the damn thing.
