Well, I didn't do this, but my hubby did. 
He got me a new motor for my bus, for Christmas! It actually brought tears to my eyes I was so surprised! LOL
It's a 1776 with a 110cam and some kind of special heads, or something like that. I need to text the friend he got it threw and ask her what it is exactly.
I'm pretty stoked about it though.

Went up to the body shop and removed the dash ready for the cab area to be prepped for paint
Took some pics of the first bit of paint to go on the van, was quite a milestone been in 6 months getting worked on so was great to finally see some paint go on!!

It looks like a bull wanting to ram something, but that's just all my cold medication doing my thinking today.

Think they're on upside down, or at least it looks like it on my phone

Definitely wrong, crossover brackets are a lot shorter that early ones and don't have as much of an angle on them, your bumper is set way too low and too far away

Given the cab area a good luck of acid paste to try getting the horrid black tar type paint off, left it doing its stuff gone from this to this, another go over and it should all be back to bare metal.
