Question Do we really have minivan engines?

The vans have a 3.8 just like us. Are there any differences?

There is no such thing as a Mini Van Engine, never heard of that type of Engine yet. Back in the 60's a Chevelle with a (396) under the hood wasn't a Chevelle 396 Engine , it was just a big block 396 in a Chevelle, and guy's put them in 55 chevy's also...they just dropped a 396 in, not a Chevelle 396 in,....... An Engine is an Engine no matter what it's in as long as it's a proficient & healthy Engine..

Well, ok Son, what's your point, if they would of put a small block Chevy in it, you don't have enough time to list all the application that a (350) was put in,,,just pick one & I guess that will be the TYPE of engine it is HuH! thx for the laugh I needed it.

Why? It is just a 3.8 litre engine, you can improve it with aftermarket parts just like the 4.0.
