OC 12 HP Rating and Van conversion

Utah Cabin Cats

:unsure:Ok here is a few questions.

What is the max torque and HP that a OC 12 can take.

I have a 69 spryte that is trashed to say the least. I have an idea but i'm looking for input. I have a newer passenger van that has a Chevy 350 MPI motor with a turbo 700 auto transmission in it. I am thinking of pulling all of the suspension out and mount the van frame and all to my existing cat frame.

Other than my steering arms, that can be modified to fit in where the steering wheel is in the van, and drive line mounting, could it be red-neck enough to work?

I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure that most model 3700 groomers are hydrostatic drive and not equipped with the OC-12. I have seen/worked on some model 2100C groomers that had 390 cu. in. Ford V8/C6 auto and used the OC-12 with 5.44 R&P.
