[FC] engine swap info

[Keith Jarvis]

I always thought that some forward facing scoops on the rear pillars would
look nice. Or you could put in some fresh air scoops in tin on the
undercarriage, running through some dryer vent lines or something up to an
air box. Then again, you could use this methodology, which was just to make
the most horrific van, in my opinion, of all time.

No corvair, but still pretty slick. The engine between the two van pics is
mounted midship, no drive shaft, to the diff. Scary.
