Try to understand something..
There's no such especial engine produced for our VX,the people your shop is dealing with probably have the same wrong info.

Our engine ( Model 6VE1 ) came manufactured from the same production line in japan,our VX doesn't differs from the rest of the 3.5L built back in those years. ( 1998-2001 ) is the same engine found in the trooper,the rodeo,the acura SLX and ultimately our VX

Do some google research and you'll find the info.
