Swapping an atlas motor into a VX. these blown engines seem common, and an atlas I6 has 245 base hp and 245 lb tq.
I think it'd be a pretty awesome combo in one of those small vx's

Dang. Wish I could get phase 2 and 3. Crazy conversion though. If I get one within the year, I'll prob romp on the engine pretty hard and get an atlas or an old school 250 inline 6 and make a very back to basic vehicross. LS1 get about 12-14 mpg on the usual, whereas those inline sixes can up 20 mpg. I don't need that horsepower anyway, and some inlines, can produce equal amounts of small block torque.

Forget the LS1/6, get the LS7 with 500/500+ hp/tq and 28 mpg!!! Slightly spendy though. Coachreed only had wiring still to do I believe.......
