Sorry ladies and gentlemen, been REAL busy with projects and have lost track of my VX info updates...

As far as oil consumption problem: gone, I have changed the oil twice since the engine swap and it uses/consumes no oil as far as I can tell.(went to El Paso twice in the last 3 months).
Milage is the same as it was with the VX engine in... approx. 18-20mpg highway, I'd say 14-15mpg city driving.

Still feels faster and more responsive overall. Runs great.

Couldn't make it to Moab this year. Maybe next year. I know there was an Austin meet recently, I'm going to be in Austin sometime in the next couple weeks, let me know if a mini meet is plausible...

Any other specific questions anyone has about this engine swap, let me know.

Rolling hard and strong in Ruthless (my VX's name).
