That's very nice, same attention to detail as the van. A friend of mine is an engine builder, he's always telling me I should get something that he can build me a VX 16v lump for. He thinks they're still one of the best engines ever put in a production car.

They can be tuned to 298bhp if you can afford it :lol: and are as stronger than most engines built to date, the only downside is they are hevey engines by todays standards thats all....
