I just pulled a 360/46rh from a 90 b350. Unless they changed alot (which I don’t think they did) just pull the grill/ radiator/support/ heads / intake/ alternator etc and pull engine and trany out the front . Hardest part is all the accessories/wiring/smog stuff on the 90. Yours is much simpler . Engine and trany slid out way easier than I expected.

I took mine out the front on my 2002 B1500. Pulled the kegger for clearance and ran a short chain across to each head. It was tight but plenty doable. No need to screw around with taking the trans out doing it this way.
So- update on the van. As referenced above, the engine cross member will come out like our abody k frames and I can drop the suspension with it and engine and trans thru the bottom.
Also the damn thing is Unibody! It’s a frame that’s made of what looks like 12ga sheet metal pretty thick flanged and welded to the floors. Full length also.
I will keep you all posted when this engine comes out.
