oh yeah man i agree with you on the camaro part. i have wanted a 67-68 for 15 years now ever since i was 12. but as far as the astro goes i don't know. a guy in high school had one and he thought he was just the man. it was a ratty old tird even then and they didn't ever get much better. if you want comfort for cruising, get a blazer or tahoe those are great. if you have to have a van astro is 
ok, but if you can at all avoid it that is even better.

if you HAVE TO have a van.
I personally chose a '67 camaro because I think they're one of the most badass, sexiest cars ever made.

Anything's possible, but there would have to be some MAJOR fabrication for you to fit an LS1 in a Previa 
There's not much room for anything other than the stock 4 banger, however, the 2TZFZE motor found in the later models has quite a bit of potential
DOHC, S/C, Low CR and Forged internals
Pretty much bulletproof, it's considered the 4 cylinder version of the 2JZGTE
Plenty of free mods to up the boost, but the there are a few serious guys running a small turbo in conjunction with the stock S/C pushing well over 400RWHP
Here are some pix of my 95 (2WD/2TZFZE)
And an old video

Bought it for $500 bucks and I drive it back and forth from NYC to Orlando every few weeks without worry
With over 270K miles, I plan on only doing light mods (cutout, pulley and a bigger FMIC)

Yep anything is possible LOL, how big is your wallet. I mean I like fabricating but I also like bang for the buck better. If it came to spending the kind of money some of these people spend I'd go for a new Lotus Elise.
I spent $200 on my car, $500 on the engine, $1000 for the trans, $300 on metal and about another $2000 on seats, steering, wheels and brakes. Lots of man hours more to go but starting with a rear drive platform and a car that handles good to begin with saves a lot of aggrevation, money and you are more likely to end up with something you like in the end IMO.
But as I said before, whatever makes you happy.
