In 2004 Isuzu released a new 3.5L Direct Injection motor which boosts output by 20 horsepower for a total of 250 ponies. Performance figures improve greatly — Isuzu claims that 0-to-60 times drop from 8.9 to just 7.5 seconds, with the quarter-mile being cut from 16.5 seconds to 15.8 ticks. Might be that one? If it is I want to know the details on how much of the pain in the *** swap it was, cause I REALLY want that motor in my VX.
Here are some links on the new engine...
