And little did I know that used car prices would drop beyond belief a year after I got it. I paid a fortune for it and I see what $11,000 could get me now its unreal. But nothing touches the VX koolness.
Yeah, I'm still waiting for my $3,000 VX. I think it will happen, someday.

I am not 100% positive, but I do think the 3.5 from a late model Trooper should work in the VX.

But it makes me wonder, has anyone ever just had their VX engine rebuilt? I mean, the moment you hear your motor knocking, you should probably stop driving it. And then I would think you could have the motor pulled and take it to a good machine shop for rebuilding, right?
