Is there only 1 1986/7 Dodge 350 that gets recycled every year as a Russefeiring party van?

BTW - what ize engine is is ? A 5.2L V8, 5.9L V8 or other? I am guessing not much more than 180hp and about 200lbft of torque.

It's the 5,9L V8..
The registration says 250+ hp, because we've been told, the original is supposed to have 250, but the ambulance has more, although we don't know how much..

No, this has never been a part of russefeiring before. It looks very cool in the condition it's in now, matt black. It's almost sad we will have to paint it red, as we are russ of the red kind..

In 1986/87 US V8's were extremely weak and anemic... that's why I estimated less than 200hp...
