Hi Guys, thx for the feedback some of it is good and some of it belongs to Britney fans forum.

VX can crawl rocks and outrun most of similar vehicles when on the pavement and that is what makes it so unique and a good platform for this type of conversion.
-Where diesel would really shine in say Trooper it would just kill the characteristics of the VX. To put in Axiom engine, why? I got Isuzu engine in it already and it runs like Swiss watch, those few HPs can be easily gained by opening the intake tract, regrinding camshaft lobes for more lift and increase fuel pressure. To supercharge without beefing up the vulnerable bottom end is....
-Turbines, fuel cell etc. I don’t know much about but I know my SBC.
Anyway LT1 it is!
LT1 is high torque, high revving responsive engine and a good choice of heads, camshaft and CPU tuning would only enhance the VX’s.
LT1 can probably by position lower than 6EV1 since it does not have skirt and elaborate bolt on oil gallery/brace.
Over all I am not looking for your approval to do my project but like I said at the beginning of this thread it is your intelligent opinion that I am after.

Thank you for valuable input.
