Actually I bought this VX for 1500.00. Have over 5K in the motor due to the purchase of a OEM crank shaft. I paid as much for the crack shaft as I did the whole car. Looking back, I should have just bought a factory crate motor from Jerry Lemond and called it a day. But I did learn a lot in this build!! I could have done it cheaper by using after market parts but just couldn't bring myself to restore it with the cheaper after market stuff. I've heard too many horror stories from people. But that is just me.... guess that makes me an Isuzu snob!
