Not to sound any false alarms, but also make sure that the engine swap (especially to an older model engine) is legal by EPA standards and especially in your home state. Virginia (Northern Virginia suburbs anyway) has very stringent rules regarding emissions and what is allowable. Wouldn't want to see the investment of a replacement engine shot down over regulatory issues. I had considered a 3.2 swap had I acquired a blown VX a while back and local and state laws appeared to negate the option since they only seemed to allow the same or newer year motors. Check first.
