    Your always welcomed to join us at our meets. You were such a big fan of the VX and probably still are. It just didn't suit your needs. GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW TRUCK THOUGH...

    Look at the bright side, now you won't suffer one of the consequences of owning this extrodinary vehicle.......VX nightmares Just the other night I had one where this mechanic was installing a V8 in my VX and the police came and arrested him before he finished, so there was my orignal engine on the floor (in pieces) and the V8 wasn't connected, sheeeought! I didn't even get to hear it roar. Enjoy your new truck.

    Not the choice I'd make, but not knockin' the decision - I've driven a Yukon and there's nothing wrong with that. Nice ride, and a lot more practical.

    Apparently I've not driven the right V8-equipped vehicle yet (excepting the Yukon, since I never really stomped the gas). My experience is limited to a 5.4L 300hp Triton V8-equipped Lincoln Navigator and a 4.6L 225hp V8-equipped Ford E-250 extended cargo van that I drive quite often at work. Neither impresses me. First of all, a 4.6L V8 that makes 225hp certainly isn't mind-blowing, and add to that the fact that they put it in a large extended cargo van that will be expected to carry lots of weight. Yeah - they're bigger, heavier vehicles so the power doesn't go as far as it would if you dropped that thing in a sport coupe. But 30 years ago most cars were markedly heavier than today and the average V8 probably made 300hp back then.

    no pics yet, but i cant believe myself that those SVO injectors fit the harness, i had an extra set left over from an LT1 build so i slapped em on, amazing what kind of difference a little more fuel makes with the supercharger. since i last posted converted to a bigger radiator, electric water pump, and electric fans, cowl induction hood, and chevy bowtie exhaust tips, ill post pics when i get the chance.
