This was done right after break-in at just under half throttle.
Engine has ~ 35,000 on it, it runs strong and passes CA smog test easily. Horsepower is estimated at 400 + with around 500 ft. lbs. of torque. If you live outside of California and have no worries about smog check, this engine can gain more power by removing the smog equipment and adding higher performance products (such as a bigger intake, camshaft and exhaust).

Updated with some underhood shots.
This van also has had new weather stripping (made for the specific model), window channel seals and wiper blades.
All lights (both exterior and panel backlighting), wipers washers, blinkers and horn work properly. As mentioned previously the A/C & Heater work well (A/C gets quite cool).
Also when the engine was rebuilt I had a heavy duty aluminum radiator put in along with a new GM Heavy Duty thermal fan clutch.
