Member Ascinder may have his available still.
Well, there is a brand new short block on ebay for 1500.00
Im telling ya, please look for the Axiom motor. 280hp, smooth power. quiet, responsive, and lower chance for siezure. Use your original intake.
There were three but they may have been sold.Quote:

What's the difference between a long block and a short block in this context? I though all Vx's came with the same engine more or less.
you get more parts with a long block than you do with a short block. It's still the same motor.
long block equals heads/cams etc installed, short block is just the block with crank/pistons/rods. Long block would be easier to install because you just put yuor valve covers on, intake manifold, hook up electrics etc whereas short block you have to put the heads on, set the timing, etc etc. And your rigth about the axiom motor that swaps right in being virtually identical to the VX's. The 250hp version was direct injection and is not a direct swap.
who you buy from even post a link. Several people have got hosed by a seller in CA and there may be others
