I posted a reply in the welcome section regards the CF van.
At work we had a fleet of CF vans for daily deliveries and on occasions I used the works CF pickup or a CF van to go pick parts up.
1st drive in one I locked up all 4 brakes just getting used to the van (Quite impressive but totally unexpected.)
At the time I had (and passed my test in )a HA Viva van so obviously the CF was the biz with the size/more power and those brakes.
As times went by the vans went FWD and the CF stopped production for things like the Rascal van.
Reading a car mag one day there was an artictle about drag racing vans. So 1st thought was a Rascal with a V8 in the rear for the rear wheels. but keep the original setup to drive it there as a FWD.
The dream never really went away and I got to know a compamy in Doncaster (BH Autokraft) who built V8 dragsters etc. After a guilded tour it seemed putting a V8 into anything was basically limited by imgination and finance. (plus ability and physical dimentions)
The finance and time have never been there for what I wanted to build, but if I had the money would I build a dragster van, Not sure.
But having seen some of the crate engines available these days and watching the American TV progs (Counts Kustoms and Gas Monkey Garage, Diesel Brothers etc)
I have seen a nice choice of engines and reckon I would stick with GM.

Would be a choice of the van or a Bandit Trams Am at the moment.
