a buddy of mine has a 88 dx with a blown motor and he doesnt want to spend a lot of money on a new motor, he just needs something to deliver pizzas. hes not really lookin for power just a reliable car.

You're going to have to swap a bunch of stuff over from the blown motor to the vx motor.
The tranny, the distributor and a few other parts. Check in the ef forum or hybrid..
