Good info thread on 6 cylinders.

Hey lolife, I wish I would have seen this before I went to the boneyard New Year’s Eve. I happen to take this picture of a 1978 G-van with a 3 on the tree while I was there. Is this a 250 or 292? I am thinking 292 by TX Firefighters comment on the coolant bypass hose that connects the water pump and the thermostat housing. It looks like a bypass hose unhooked. On this van the PS bracket was also alternator bracket. This van had HEI to boot. I might be able to swing by there yet this weekend and grab it.

Yes, a power steering gear and pump should fit both I6 and V8.

There were 3 other G-vans there with straight 6’s but the only one with PS brackets and HEI.
