Look for a Cummins 4bt with an inline pump. That would be my all time fav diesel swap candidate into old iron.
Mopar to the bone!!!

Mr P Body, I would love to hear more details about that slant 6 diesel conversion. That is a build thread I would love to see. Was this something you did recently? Please tell me you have pictures.

I was thinking maybe a 8.8 rear out of an explorer for the van if its wide enough
If you research it, there is a very narrow 8.8 out of a special option Ranger that comes with the 31 spline axles, discs,posi, and good gear ratios from the factory. They are rare, but come about 56.5 wheel mount to wheel mount. The regular Explorers rears come with Discs, posi, a good selection of gears and are 59.5 wide. I have one under a 1965 dart with 2006 Mustang GT optional 18x8.5 rims and tires, with only a spring relocate. If you go this route, grab everything that you can off the donating vehicle. The companion flange, the bolts that hold it on, and the brake lines, two from the pass side. Take a look at the axles where the seals run, those are prone to wear and leak, but can be fixed with relocate bearings available. The pinion seal can be fixed with a thin repair sleeve that slides over the damaged area. Pull the rear cover and look for rust as well to make sure it didn't get damaged from rust. If you buy it right, this is about as good a deal on a rear axle swap as there is.
