If it's an uncomplicated swap, it may be a much better choice than rebuilding/replacing with the OEM 3.5 engine. I don't know, but I hope somebody tries the Aurora 4.0L swap-out someday to determine its compatibility with the VX and gives a report here on the forum.
If i can gather the right info i can look into this.
I just saw a 4.0L engine for under $ 600.00 with 83,000 miles,not bad considering it comes from a 2001 model.
Dakar was just the begining.
