    If you are going to fab a fit...I am kinda lik'n that new Mustang V6. Size would drop in nicely and 300+ HP.

    Has anyone seriously researched the aurora V8 engine to figured out if is suitable for the VX.

    If not i can ask my mech to get more info and how difficult a swap can be

    I'll print this and take it to my mech and see what he have to say.

    I also have to gather info on rebuilding my engine with better aftermarket parts that can help get rid of the oil burn issue.

    Ya gotta love that Ford v6, 315hp 31 mpg. but getting all those electrics to work in a Isuzu wouldn't be much fun at all.
