Good Luck on finding a cheap engine that runs.  What do you want ? 36hp,40hp ?   If you have the original tranny ,you will have to do a little surgery on the case of the tranny to install anything bigger. There are a few other tricks you can do.

i dont care what size it is, just as long as its a running, 6 volt motor. hell, it can be 12 volt for all i care, i have the parts to convert it over. i just need to get my bus going ASAP. parents might be moving out west, im stayin behind, so i need a bus to live/tool around in.

Hey Dude, Did you come up with a engine ?  Still nothing here running. If your parents are going to abandon you, I would try to find some kind of "wheels" to get by with until you find stuff for your van. Finding all the parts is not as easy as you think anymore and some parts are pretty pricey for a 46 year van.
