Ah, thanks for the heads up... well I can't wait to see the pics, and I'm pretty sure I'd be wanting to get that e-rod/tranny/t-case swap done in the future.

I love the "check engine" light. It is like the VX is saying "oh my, what is up with my heart? It feels so much stronger!"

Auto pros,
Just to clarify the pricing a bit...
The amount you posted, is that how much you have spent so far, including labor, R&D, etc?
Could you post a price estimate of how much it could be if a VX owner with the skill and experience to do the project were to attempt it?
When I saw that price range, I immediately felt people's hearts sink.
Thanks!

The cost of the e-rod itself is at least $7500 from what I've found online. Then you have the transmission, t-case, and hardware to get that all hooked up. Fab work is needed as well, to mount the drive train.

So are you guys planning to swap out the vintage 1970s transfer case shift knob?

Heck no. I likey. Just need to schlep it down with some 'Wipe New'.So are you guys planning to swap out the vintage 1970s transfer case shift knob?

There is no way they are using the stock CV's on the front wheel drive right? I mean one full throttle acceleration with V8 HP/torque would explode our CV's right?

It would be nice to make the leather darker and the etched letters/numbers/border red.

Will have to wait and see as the photos are put up. I'm excited and I am not a VX'er like you die hards!

I sure hope the owner is going to do some work on the exterior and interior, it would be a shame to have a shabby looking truck after dropping that much money on a brand new drive train.So are you guys planning to swap out the vintage 1970s transfer case shift knob?

We are still doing work on the interior and exterior, engine and drivetrain come first though.
