I found one with 47k miles on it for $1400 and that was with the 300HP!!!
Once i overheard that acura's MDX engine was built at an isuzu's plant by honda's design & specifications.
I have no idea if that engine is compatible,but if it does you also have to swap the VX's transmission because it can handle up to 285 lbs of torque.
The 2001 oldsmobile aurora V-8 4.0L with 250hp is the best bet when it comes to looking into swapping engines because of its similarity with our V-6.
It fits almost perfectly except that you'll need to do some work with the tranmission's housing bolts
