Nope, nor does the push on the button, nor the indicator lights and fluid levels printing on the other one. The VMM is the biggest waste of space

Why? Window shopping like I said. The only real reason why I'd buy one would be because I wanted to freshen it up and install the ported OEM exhaust manifolds on it. Get it swapped out over a weekend instead of spending weeks freshening up my existing engine.
Those ported stock exhaust manifolds will be getting installed on my engine though. Not sure when exactly, but they're there ready to go
.I'd love to 4v swap, but given where I live and how "wonderful" it is for car mods, I'm not sure if I ever will 4v swap. I want to get the most amount of power possible while looking as stock as possible, I guess is the goal.
If you wanted a fresh engine to drop in, then I could see it making sense. But chances are yours is still fine and you can do the PI head and cam swap in a weekend.Why? Window shopping like I said.

The only reason I could see you doing it is because you could pull the motor and trans all at once. But unless you're looking to reseal your current 4.6, there's no need

Where on earth did I say you should 4V swap? Believe it or not in spite of my own 4V swap my heart is with the 2V. Most amount of power stock looking as possible given CA laws is a stock npi longblock, PI heads/cams/intake. Short of that your stock npi heads are adequate with the concession of that being stock compression, and beyond that you need aftermarket cams and headers to exceed that which I know to be a nono in your region, and don’t even mention it.
TL;DR If you want PI engine power literally all you need is the PI cams and (real) PI intake on your stock engine. To me that paired with a manual trans is street car heaven, 4V to Coyote to beyond with power adders is just toy category, don’t assume my own car’s combination influences me, I like the 4Vbecause it’s impressive looking at car shows, but in terms of a fun street car with the V8 sound the plain old 2V got me there and a manual transmission all on its own was a better mod for me enjoyment of the vehicle than anything that added notable horsepower as far as I’m concerned.
