I read in another thread that the VG was lighter and produced more torque, so that might be your best bet!! :lol:

You should check to make sure that the o-rings you spec for those engines have the correct operating range of temps for your application.

Had to change up the motor swap due to "O" ring and fuel tank problems and decided to go a bit smaller.
