Yes, a Chevy 350 can be put in an Astro Van as I own one that I've built. Special motor mounts that make up for the extra length of the motor can be purchased for this swap for about $49.00. Next the plate on the front of the V6 which the alt, Power Steering and Air conditioning connect will bolt up perfectly on a 350. Obviously V6 headers won't work so aftermarket headers will need to be purchased for this swap but stock headers can be altered if your on a budget. A good muffler man can fabricate a dual exhaust system reasonably priced. Lastly check the driveshaft for fit and if it needs to be altered it can be shortened and rebalanced for about $30.00. THAT'S IT! It should cost you around $300 and that's on the high side.

The 5.7 heads will work if they have the smaller 184 intake valves . Or you will have to bore the block over to get the 194 ,200,or 202 intake valves to fit into the cylinder if not it will lock it up when the valve opens and hits the edge of the block
