Nothing new here, plenty of big V8 tansplants have been done in Troopers. Imagine the surprise of the luxury SUV crowd when left in the dust by a lifted Gen1 Trooper! If you pull the project off you'll just be adding the style of the VX, which you'd expect to perform as it looks. You want REAL power? There's a guy here in town that's got a Cummins multi-fuel engine and drivetrain from a military 2 1/2 ton stuffed in a Gen1 Trooper. Put that in your VX!

If you really want to impress this crowd, do a turbine conversion.
