3.8L Series II w/ SC swap?

[swanny]

I think my engine seized up on me last night (lack of oil, even though I just put in a couple quarts a couple weeks ago) It's in the shop now so it's not for sure yet. Anyway, need to start thinking about either a swap or selling the rig. Is the 3800 a good option? Would it be much more $$$ to do the LS4?

Mine is supercharged right now so losing that would suck, but at this point this vx has been nothing but a money pit (granted, my fault for wanting mods ) so I am not sure what to do.

Ive always wanted to see the swap done on the VX. Thought about doing it myself but i didnt want to be the first to try!

I think you should try the swap! And sell me your supercharger

Well, consider the age of this thread and still nothing concrete

If I was in your position, I would get another stock engine (with lower mileage) and put it in. I often see Troopers with blown trannies for as little as $600. Buy one of those, keep the engine (and perhaps a few other parts, like: TOD and rear end), trash the rest. You might even be able to get $100-$200 for scrap metal.
