Over 500,000 miles. Just change your oil and filter every 3,000 miles.
There is one before and one after the catalytic converter.
The fuel lines around the filter; you will need an adapter.
The average life expectancy of a 3.0L OHV V6 Vulcan engine can vary depending on maintenance, driving habits, and overall care. With proper maintenance and regular servicing, these engines can last upwards of 200,000 miles or more. However, lack of maintenance or severe driving conditions can shorten their lifespan.
Don't know what year you have but some sensors are temperature sensitive and you should run a 195 degree thermostat.
It should be on the front of the intake manifold directly above and behind the water pump.

I had a 1996 3.0, I ran it on my job several years. It had 397.988 miles on it, then my daughter drove it another year. I still was not afraid of the car. It still ran great when I sold it.

The EGR valve on your Astrovan is on the backside of the intake manifold just under the throttle body attached by two bolts. After installing a new gasket be sure and torque the BOLTS to 17-18ft lbs or the NUTS (if yours has studs) to 15ft lbs)
Only the 3.4 Liter V6 uses a timing belt. The 4 cylinder has a chain. If you have a 2004 V6 replace the belt at 90,000 miles. WARNING: This is an interference engine. If the belt breaks, serious engine damage will occur. Also, as the water pump is driven by the same belt, replace the water pump at the same time as the belt. They have about the same life expectancy and this will save you money on labor later on when the pump fails.
What year is the gtp, if 95 or newer yes, if gtp is in the 80's then no due to pollution restrictions today, and may have to change the computers from each vehicle. Each computer is set to specs for the engine it controls.
The Mustang V6 does not have a timing belt it has a timing chain which normally will last the life of the engine.
