    Default need advice on vs statesman engine change.

    hey all. i need some advice on an engine change i wanna do.
    i just got a vs statesman with a v6 with 358000ks... i want to change the motor for one with lower ks. but im wondering if a vt/vx ecotech would work in my car or would i be better of just getting a vs motor? i just thought that all ecotecs are the same.

    oh and mine is currently duel fuel.

    any advice would be good. thanks in advance..
