Don't waste your time. If you scanned through the thousands of parts in your van, you would find a big percentage of them are different depending on the engine size.
The engine mounts are different, as is the transmission, engine computer, transmission computer, body computer which calculates information for the instrument cluster, fuel pressure is lower, radiator is smaller and uses different hoses. Coil springs are lighter duty for a lighter engine. Wiring harnesses are different. Brake system is balanced differently for the different weight distribution. Exhaust pipe won't match up to the different engine. Air conditioning, heater, and power steering hoses are different lenghts. Fuel supply and return hoses are different.
If you need a different engine, there are plenty in the salvage yards. If you want to switch to a smaller engine, you're WAY better off looking for a different vehicle.
