possible engine swap canidates...

That's actually really good info in case my engine blows!

It's a bear of a job...no joke. Fabbing the mounts and getting the block in there is the easiest part. Even putting a carb on there(to avoid all the millions of ECU problems you will get) what trans are you intending to use? Stock won't take the power, and it wouldn't talk to the computerless engine anyway. You pretty much have to figure on an entire driveline swap. Now you're into my area.....RWD, VQ upfront, Nissan 6sp, Nismo rear end I've been tossing that one around for years. Just changing the engine alone, is tough. I just read the link.....I don't know guys. It's a starting thought perhaps.

I was thinking LS1 for mine but figured to do it right would easily creep over $10,000 after the engine, NV3500 transmission, and Atlas transfer case

Fortunately, I have a donor 3.5 in the works. Maybe it'll last long enough for me to find good deals on the other components so I can go V8 later.

Has anyone used anything in addition to a S/C on their VX? My S/C makes the VX perform so much better but just wondering if anyone has tried something else. Going V8 does sound tempting though. Scott

Too heavy.....weight is the enemy

[WormGod]

Hmm, just now seeing this. Funny enough, I had inherited a Cadillac Eldorado from my father when he passed away about 6 years ago. I had the car for a few years afterwards until selling it outright to Carmax since I never used it.

Had the 4.5L Northstar V-8.... ah, had I had known, heh.

Chopper, you're right, they are heavy and I love 'em.
