is vx interference or non-interference

[pRoToN vXeR]

Ok..so I'm a lil. Confused..some ppl say our 3.5 is a non intereference but gates company says it is and so does my mechanic?

[clipper 03 rodeo]

They are non-interference. Only the Direct Injection 3.5 from the 04 Rodeos/Axioms are interference.
