Engine Swap

[Gussie2000]

IIrc 285 ft lbs of torque is the limiter. The rodeo 5 speed is much stronger, and yes it was sucessfully used with TOD in a VX

I think the install presented two problems, part or the casing had to be shaved down for clearance under hard acceleration and the check trans fluid light flashes as a shift indicator

What about the wiring harness & the ECU eric ?

Is all 100% compatible with that engine or requires additional mods ?

According to the 2001 aurora the engine handles 250 hp @ 5600rpm. Torque is 260 @ 4400rpms.

Does anyone knows how much $$$ that engine cost ?

Do a search on eBay for 4.0L Olds Aurora V-8 engne pricing. You may be pleasently surprised at just how inexpensive that 250HP engine really is.

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.
