Questions & Answers
Q: Why are the narrator and their partner working on other projects instead of focusing solely on the engine?
The engine cannot be worked on at the moment because it needs to be TIG welded, and the person who can perform that task was unavailable until recently. Therefore, they decided to utilize the downtime by working on other aspects of the van.
Q: Will the narrator start using the van immediately once the engine is installed?
No, they plan to take the van on a short pavement cruise to ensure everything is functioning properly before heading out into the wilderness.
Q: Is the narrator planning to convert the van to four-wheel drive?
While converting to four-wheel drive would be desirable, it is costly (estimated at $20,000-$25,000) and unnecessary for the narrator's purposes. The van's two-wheel drive system and rear locking air differential make it highly capable in off-road situations.
Q: Will the inside of the hood be painted?
No, the narrator does not plan to paint the inside of the hood. Despite being dirty, it is not visible to others, and there are no plans to change its appearance.
