    My vx IS HOME..

    the new motor is kick ***. 5.3l and above is the way to go. I love it.
    More balls than Ted Nugent at Lilith fair and rasper than Deep Throat.

    Congratulations man, that is fantastic! Looks like you have thrown down the guantlet for whoever ended up with CoachReed's project. I bet two more cylinders livened it up a bit. What's the 0 - 60 now?

    Hate to be crude, but how much all that run you dollar wise, and did you document the build?

    looks like that 5.3L fits nice & snug. Did you change out the transmission/transfer case or were you able to keep the originals?

    Cool Paging Dr Lingenfelter...

    ..

    http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...W2dFuBVw5mEZEQ

    On average, only about $10-11 bucks per pony...

    They're claiming 90 @ the wheels.

    THEN you could live in your VX...

    A few questions for you...
    Did you maintain all emissions equipment?
    Check engine light still work as intended?
    Did you use a custom wireing harness or just modify the isuzu/donor harness?
