Engine swap

[thedutchguy]

I was just wondering if anybody on this forum has a VX with an Axiom engine?

[Tone]

Discussed MANY times - if you are willing to swap out the entire wiring harness as well....

[pbkid]

i know it has been discussed but, are there motors that can be swapped without too much modding?

[Tobert]

I'll do it tomorrow and post all the data if somebody else buys me a donor Axiom

The swap I really want is the Aisin manual transmission, though. That's the only thing I really wish my VX had. I assume there was no manual option on the Axiom, though ...

Can't say how many times our '04 Axiom almost went to its new home with a significant mileage disparity on its drivetrain.

No, no manual option on an Axiom. Part of the allure in a complete GM transplant on one of these older ones. Just that their sixes suck and their small eights are a bit heavy. Pull all the awd stuff and the scales balance a bit better.
