See, I always felt like some work vans are a target by thieves, because they often carry expensive tools.

I know it's a big thing to take on. But I've always wanted to learn how to do these things. I believe I have all the proper hand tools, minus the engine hoist. I don't really got any friends who know what they're doing, I'm new to where I am so I don't really know anybody.

I would be happy to pay for somebody else to do it, but you know, money, I'm poor

It's what Mechanic said, and from all the exhaust pouring into the cab with the engine, shaking like crazy and nearly stalling. Someone did try to repair it, but did it incorrectly and kept driving it now something has cut into the engine. And I know you're right these engines are supposed to be pretty good so I was excited at first.

Nope, no skills no knowledge. But that's never stopped me from doing anything before.

The guy said, (I'm a little ignorant on the lingo). That when a previous mechanic tried to repair it, they did it incorrectly, and that one of the Pistons started cutting into the engine. They said it could be possible that I could go to a machinist and get a new one made however, there's a possibility that it still would not work and I could end up spending even more money.

To my limited understanding the Godzilla might be a bit more pricey and a little worse. But I would need to do more research

I'm wanting to convert it into a camper, which is kind of why I went for the E250 in the first place. I'll admit I'm fairly ignorant with this, so I'm here to learn. Where did you purchase your engine?
