That’s what I did with my awd supercharged previa. Got through sand so much better than any truck with the weight distribution and being so light anyways. Really miss it. Would 100% buy one again if it ever comes up. I kind of want to do a rally build previa, even with bigger offroad tires it still drifted so nice on gravel. Such a low CG.
We just sold our 1991 Previa. Even better, it got sold to a family just up the street, so it’s still in town. Now I’m waiting to sell my '04 Impala. Got that bulletproof 3800 V6, but no buyers so far.
One of my friends got an early 90’ Buick with that 3800 for his first car. You want to talk about a tank? He took absolutely the bare minimum amount of care of it, infrequent oil changes, parts only got replaced when absolutely necessary, not just making a little noise. For some reason his ac never went bad though. I think the South Florida car gods were just looking it for us.
'95 LeSabre was my first car. Drove over an open manhole and obliterated the subframe. Still drove and ran fine, but it was totalled. The engine fell out but still ran enough to get home. Those engines are immortal.
The impala, I’m selling because now I have too many cars. Runs great though. She’s gonna outlast me, probably.
I’ve seen them used as overland trucks. Things are awesome. Them and the Chevy Astro are two vehicles that I think unfairly got dunked on.

I’ve heard of people swapping the supercharged version of those engines into Fieros. Honestly that would be a dream build for me
