170 K or so. Runs perfectly, shifts perfectly and no leaks. Those V6 motors are just on this side of unbreakable! I was looking around for one in good body shape with a bad engine for months, with absolutely no luck. Ill just have to sell the GM engine/tranny when I have it out, would be a waste otherwise.

The one im using for this project was a florists vehicle, that I picked up for cheap because every single door handle, including the hood was broken and they had replaced it with a newer van. I had to cut the hood open and disengage the lock from through the outside and ive been working my way around getting doors open. Im up to a working sliding door and drivers door now, just have three left!

the plan is that its getting an NV3500 GM 5-speed mated to the turbo modified 4cyl diesel, then it will be pressed into service as a work vehicle.
