I like the stance the way it sits. Your van, but I say leave it right where it is.

Thanks everyone.

The stance does look good. I really like the last picture.
Its hard to see the rake in the side pictures, between the side skirts and the bowed roof, kinda deceiving.

It sounds good, has some rumble now, couldnt tell it was running before. Gotta love Flowmasters
I may have forgotten to mention before, my Astro has a 99 Trans Am all aluminum LS1 V8 in it.

Here are a couple pictures of the LS1 V8 install

Put most of interior back in:
Built a tunnel for the gas filler tube, had to recut carpet and panel. I still need to carpet tubs & tunnel

[Linked Image]
[Linked Image]
installed 4 bucket seats with racing harnesses & seat bases painted to match exterior
[Linked Image]
[Linked Image]
Installed dash pieces painted to match interior, still need to do glove box and overhead console. Some may not like this, but I wanted to break up all the silver. Im not a big fan of the whole interior painted, just a little accent.
