Default Its a bird, a plane, a van?!!

My dad gave me his 2000Ford Windstar, what a car lol. He boughtit with anupgraded engine (3.8L 210hp give or take a few). I've seen these old caravans with crate engines put in that are around 350hp - whatever they can get to. I thought this was kind of cool because its theultimate sleeper.Anyoneknow about beefing up a van? I wasn't thinking about a swap, more like i/h/e ecuand possibly turbo. Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks

I saw an AstroVan with a Corvette motor in it (not sure which corvette motor it was). Also had a 100 shot of nitrous. The car was driven by a recruiter for UTI and built by some UTI students.

210 hp in a heavy bucket is nothing too special

yeah no kidding. I'm stripping most of the stuff out, very back seats, spare, all the other s***. When i was just driving with my buddy, i beat his Chrysler sebring by 4 car lengths.
i want to try to get it up to 350, and try to drop 300 pounds off of it.

You seriously gonna race that thing? The best use for a van is to take out the seats and use it to haul motorcycles.
