DOES THE VAN HAVE ANY GEARBOX and a 72 is a very special year,it can fit without any alterations at all any of 3 motors fit 1600,1200.2 lit but not
all gearboxes will mate to all engines,a 1600 motor will fit a 1800 but not a 2 lit as a matter of fact a 2 lit must use a 2 lit box .the best
combernation is a 2 lit with 1800 heads and 2 lit gearbox,hope that helps a bit
