well after about two hours on craigslist, I had a slough of callers, but only one showed up to look and we both signed a bill of sale and he assured me that he would pull the motor that day and at this very moment it should be hitting the crusher. He also assured me that he would take pictures to show me that the van would never be on the road again. I hope he was serious, but I'm not worrying too much about it because it really was a huge piece of crap. Thanks to all who replied.
