I don’t know what engine or transmission is on this factor, however the B300 was accessible with a 360 small block (most certainly), or a 400 or 440 huge block. B300s have been bought with a handbook transmission as customary, however this one has the non-compulsory three-speed 727 Torqueflite automated.

That’s, sadly, all the data they offer on the van, however what extra are you able to ask when the worth is a mere $3,200.

Actually, the inside of this huge pig isn’t as unhealthy as you’d determine for a nearly-50-year-old RV. It might positively use somewhat cleansing, as there are bits of trash in all places.
