Tempted to buy a new VX. I'm really not looking forward to parting out a driveway leech, though. And I doubt a junkyard will pay much anything for her. And honestly, I've grown attached to MY vx. This sucks.

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.
Dakar was just the begining.

Thanks, and theres no need for me to "try," I'm right there with you...maybe I'm not being clear. I understand it's the same exact engine. My mechanic thought so as well. Others are telling us otherwise. Im just rambling on about maybe i should just move to a new vx, or on the idea that anyway you slice it this is a lot of dollars--maybe I'm better off with going to a cheaper shop that specializes in replacing engines. And im looking to get someone anyone to tell me that the trooper 3.5 fits just fine from personal experience and to get that info on over to my mechanic. Thanks for all your help everyone, I'll get some conference call going.
