haha. VN 3800's arent too bad i guess, dad's got a series 2 vn and that doesnt go to bad for a commonwhore, and he wants to put a motor like his into my ke38, haha, NO. Besides the tappet rattle and the occasional harmonic balancer konking out and making the car feel like it wants to die then their cheap and decent for what they are, a buick.
Go for a 250 X-flow instead, slight more torque, alloy parts are easy to come by and easier to work on.
