I was considering V8 option after learning about Isuzu's vulnerable V6.
Since I have a stagnant mint 99VX and most of the means to do the job I decided to go for it. Right now I am porting heads on my LS1 aiming for 400-450HP. I will stay with beefier automatic xmission. Transaxles may stay stock till they snap. TOD needs to be revised since I don’t trust it with the higher torque. Computer and better dashboard will be from the V8 donor, Corvette. The front and the rear transaxles will come from a ½ ton 4x4 pickup truck if needed.
Estimated starting price tag $12,000. The final cost might be offset by the proceeds from sale of VX parts. This project will take at least two years.

The ultimate Mod!

So, it has bin aprrox FIVE years, where we at with the project?
