Finding another motor will be a real challenge..

Worth investigating what has happened..and why

Failed oil.pump.. lost coolant

A rebuild wont be cheap.. but at least you will know what you have

Prepare a few things yourself :

Check the oil and coolant.. levels still normal?

Can you uncouple the alternator..check it spins freely ?

When did your van last have Cambelt work.??

Any other work recently..??

Worth ruling out cheap and simple before ripping the motor out ;-)
