there was a trucks episode on what you are wanting to do
they state that going from a 4.3 to a 5.0/5.7 all you need is to move the motor mounts to the bolt holes further to the front and make sure you get the correct radiator (4.3's are smaller) TCC should hook right up (if unsure make sure you have a wiring diagram for both v6/v8)
i dont know what the episode number is you may want to get it on dvd
and big deal if it has more torque leave it alone and run it if you want to replace the cam later you can get a remapped pcm later just make sure you get EVERYTHING out of the van I.E exhaust , air pump and use what you can
im currently gearing up for a similar swap for a customer 5.7 - 7.4 in a 2500 gmc
