I would like to rid my VX of the oil-burner that is located under it's hood.

Would I be gaining anything buy getting an 04 Axiom block ? Would I need a short block or a long block .

Should I look into rebuilding the current oil-burner ? This Idea does not appeal to me .

Junkyard motor does not strike me as a solution.

I read that a motor with the update pistons can still develop an appetite for oil, is this true?

I have many more question ,but I would like to start with these .
