...Simple thing is, that motor is not powerful enough to allow that van do make a good time. Might even be slower than some stock v8 vans today. So in my book it is a HUGE was of time and money, since he really accomplished nothing, just the fact that he swapped and srt motor in a minivan. That thing would need at least a 350cc engine or bigger to really have an effect.
Remember it's all about that hp/weight ratio
thus why are cars are fast a he*l with only a 200-300 hp engine.

Besides, maybe this guy didn't have much to work with and needed a motor, and he could have paid a couple hundred bucks or less for a totalled SRT4... and for that small amount of money, he got a (newer) motor, trans and wheels. Good for him.

... if you can't get a normal-performing factorySRT-4 to run at least a 14.9 then you're a crap driver.
