Well I'm having trouble finding a VX, as you would expect. I have come acrost a great deal on a 96 ex coupe though. I'm thinking of picking it up. But now I'm in HX territory, as far as an engine swap goes. What do you guys think, is it worth it to even swap an HX powerplant into a coupe? I'm looking for a bare minumim of 35mpg here anything above that is just bonus. Ideally, I would like 40+ or even closer to 45. Do you think that would be possible with the HX powerplant in the ex coupe?
