Can't help with the first question. But CI = cubic inch And SB = small block Example: Chevy 5.7 liter engine = 350 CI SB

There are ways to do it but we would have to kill you afterwards.
You can buy an aftermarket one from like Autometer that will start out with all zeros.
The exhaust kit you selected will not work on vans without modifications, it is meant for the cars listed, the Chevy vans have a very tight engine bay and you need headers specifically for them. You may be able to buy them through Jegs, we got ours from Summit but that was quite a few years ago. Most exhaust systems for the earlier vans have to be put together from various pieces, there probably are no longer any "kits".
The 265-400 CI is just the range of small block chevy motors that those headers will fit in the cars listed.

sorry-i couldn't resist-that doesn't even work in the movies.
If you are going to be a bum, you may as well be their king.

On the plus side they looked great and lasted a very long time.The one on my Early is close to 6 years old......

Probally will bite the bullet as well and go to a shop for install. What would be an average price for that type of work? (of course everywhere is differnt, but a ball park figure)
