They are not fast by any means but they will pull a huge load.  The TH400
is a good tranny but it is still the weak point in that vehicle.  The 4bt
has alot of torque and gets the automatics pretty hot.  Put a big cooler
on it and run syn fluid.
  I have been looking for one of those vans for a donor for the engine
swap in my M37 but have yet to find a great deal on one.
