Engine confusion... .

[tjh]

Is their an Isuzu V6 that I can put in the VX that will not burn oil ?

Funny how this thread went funny and now it is really funny.

OK, just pulled my log book. Here are all the PCVs I have used, with NO CHANGE in oil consumption.

Deutsch PCV 193
Purolator PV1061
FRAM FV384
Luber-Finer PCV-1193

None of those made a lick of difference.

Ok...first off I want to apologize to everyone who's ever inhabited the earth, then to Bart in particular...

But I tried...I REALLY tried...I just couldn't sit on my hands any more...

Short answer? I'd say no. I wonder though, if there is a GM V6 that would fit. Probably, but the issue is all the electronics, the ECU, the TOD, etc. Its a big hairy mess, imo.

How come TOD always comes up when we talk about swaps? Who cares about that useless system. Scrap the TOD, then all you have to figure out is the BCM/ECU stuff.

What are some motor options that could be bolted up to the 4L30e ? That would offer the same if not more Hp and torque @ a low RPM .(and not consume oil )

What transfer case could be used to replace the TOD one?

This is mostly for entertainment, but hey maybe !

[Marlin]

Well, all the Zus use the 4l30E and their transfer case. Get a regular old Zu transfer case, and if you are feeling ducky, go to the MUA5 vice the 4l30E. As for the engine, the 4L30E is used in dozens of models across the board. BMW, Chevy, Honda...fabbing the mounts would be the hard part.

Of the options I've seen talked about I like the Oldsmobile Aurora V8 option. It's a 4.0L DOHC engine...sweet!

Has great reliability, more HP and 260 ft/lbs Torque. You have to be careful if your keep the tranny as it's only rated to accept about 260 ft/lbs of Torque.

If you are going to fab a fit...I am kinda lik'n that new Mustang V6. Size would drop in nicely and 300+ HP.
